Okay, cheers.
But several of those were missing last weekend, too, Pam. So do not get too carried away.
Their 'depleted' team won 4 - 1 at West Ham in a game that cost West Ham a genuine shot at making the champions League today.

Think it was a bit of a freak game. West Ham battered them for 20 mins then Swansea found themselves 2 up with 2 goals completely against the run of play, which killed the game
West Ham had 25 shots!!
But you're right, they may have half a team missing but we can't underestimate them

We are okay at having shots. It is usually having them go anywhere near the goal that is the problem.
Given we are top scorers imagine how many we could have scored this year had we had our strikers not injured, out of form or (in Iheancho's case) sitting on the bench where it is pretty hard to score.
Probably enough to compensate for our dodgy defence and been fighting today for the title.
Aguero will be unlucky not to win the golden boot today as he has missed far more games than the other two contenders so would have done easily without that.

Teams with nothing to lose are dangerous. They just go out and play without fear.
I know. It's hard to know what went on with that game. I like to think West Ham were focussed on the raggies.But several of those were missing last weekend, too, Pam. So do not get too carried away.

Not always. There is a lot of sun bed syndrome about on days like today.Teams with nothing to lose are dangerous. They just go out and play without fear.

Of course not always, but you can find anomalies where average players are looser in front of goal and play without abandon. An early goal for us and we'll win easyNot always. There is a lot of sun bed syndrome about on days like today.

They also have the advantage of knowing what they need and so picking a team that can score 19 goals.
Not going to happen, is it?
Hopefully they have to play before the cup final and will focus on that to get into the Europas. If they play it after then and have a place secured they can really just throw the kitchen sink at Bournemouth. Get 5 up in 30 minutes and who knows.
If we had to throw the sink at anyone we would get our fingers stuck in the plughole and break our toe after dropping it onto them.
