Denilson hits out but is it frustration at his own performances?

Arsenal as a team have improved beyond the level of expectation widely set for them this season, and many believe that there has not been a better time to be a fan of the Gunners in recent times. That said, there have still been a few questions asked about the relative strength of the Gunners squad, questions that have grown in importance as Arsenal have failed to defeat lower league opposition (as well as Wigan) when they decided to rest several first team stars. The football odds still indicate they are in with a fantastic chance of winning something this season, but there are issues that need to be addressed.

Although several players can be accused of not quite reaching the standards they appear capable of, one of the more noticeable disappointments in recent times has been Denilson, a player who is almost certainly worthy of being regarded as one of the Arsenal players who has taken a significant step backwards in their career since the start of the season and the football predictions suggest he may be moved on if he doesn't improve soon.

However, with Denilson choosing to vent his frustration by attacking Arsenal in the press, he is perhaps one of those players who should take a close look at the likes of Samir Nasri in order to find clues as to how he can regain his starting place that has been usurped by the in-form Jack Wilshere.

If Denilson manages to raise his game and play a part in any success that the Gunners end up enjoying this season, then any incidents which hint that he has shown his youth by throwing his toys out of the pram will quickly be forgotten, but if he continues to perform at his current level, he may find that he is not going to be allowed to wear the red and white of Arsenal for too much longer.
