Amazing how some fans don’t get it. Without Wenger Arsenal will be fighting in mid-table for a Europa Cup slot. No Fabregas for sure, he will be gone. The easy money clubs of City, Chelsea, and the indebted ones, Manu, Liverpool, Spurs one day soon if UEFA establishes “financial responsability” will find themselves in trouble. Never forget where was Leeds United in 2002 (semi finalist in the Champions League) and where they are now.

I don’t know game ppl watched. I thought Denilson played pretty well. Yeah he lost the ball a couple of times towards the end. That’s only cos he was out of stamina. I’m pretty sure had we not lost TV and Dudu through injury, Wenger would’ve subbed him. Apart from those last 10-15 minutes, he played well. His role yesterday was to stop the likes of Milner getting into threatening positions, which he did. The attacking play was meant to come from Cesc, Aaron, AA and Tomas, which was less than we had hoped. Still should’ve been enough to win us the game with the chances we missed. But overall we should be happy with the result considering the results Villa have had against the other big sides

Lekan: What stats would you be talking about? Not one you make up to support your argument by any chance? Gallas did well in defence but so did Sol especially in neutralizing the aerial threat of Heskey.

Anyone who says Denilson is a waste, is a foolish old prat. Dono how u judge players, this guy has got a massive work rate more than every other mildfiders yesterday. The way he intercept play and shot at goal is next to none in the team. I beliv this guy is no french and if he’s poor wenger wont insist on him. U tend to divert blame on him anytime arsenal plays badly. Kudos to gallas, every other players yest is average. If Denilson is in a team where he’s free role to play then u wil see how good he is!!! He was arsenal best player last season despite all critism (statistic showed)

Ezra…may be Denilson is trying his best. But dont take it as it is that Wenger keeps us telling everything is OK. He isnt good enough for Arsenal. Do you think he can be with the chavs or the manures. I dont think so and Wenger knows this but he just pretends everything is OK. Look at the squad when Song is there. Think how Cesc performs when Song is there. Denilson and Cesc just dont work and Arsene knows that.

Ezra – You are right on the money. We are definitely sick of the lack of effort, pace power and authority on the part of Denilson. Someone should be pointing out these obvious flaws in his game to him so that he can try and address them instead of pretending that everything is fine. In the long run you are not a real friend of his.

All of you guys saying that Denilson is a waste of space are just sick because you don’t understand what you are talking. Denilson played his part in making sure that we were not out run in the midfield and trying to win us the ball back which the Alminia gave to the opposition in the essence Denilson gave villa little space to shoot from outside the 18 yard area and that was his job and he did it well. The least rating he can get is a 6.5 and nothing less.
