On Denilson :
@DarrenArsenal1 Disagree on Denilson, is lazy, doesn't track back, doesn't press, doesn't chase and has barely improved
@MarcussDeane honestly that's just not true, covers more ground consistently every game
@DarrenArsenal1 Covers it at a saunter though, that's the problem. Too many goals scored where he doesn't track his man.
(@rosscoarsenal replies)@MarcussDeane Name a goal this season? he has been impressive. best midfielder at the weekend and Everton in the second half
@rosscoarsenal Spuds' first on Saturday
@MarcussDeane if you watched that goal, you'd see our centre backs had no right to go trudging up the park when we had a 2 goal lead
@rosscoarsenal Yeah, I'm not saying it's his fault alone. I'm saying he should've done better and tracked harder. Same at Chelsea/Barca 09
@MarcussDeane if you watched his game closely like i have,you'll see he makes things look easy, composed + other big clubs would snap him up
@rosscoarsenal You're kidding? Discipline is poor, United at home last season. Watch it. No significant improvement Wouldn't get in Utd/Chls
@rosscoarsenal He played 37 games last season IIRC, he's not a good enough player to play key part in winning league. 4 trophies need better
@MarcussDeane one game? best defensive midfielder this season. you can't blame denilson for man united either. what about clichy and co?
@rosscoarsenal Why does somebody have to be the only bad player before we criticise them? He's not the only problem. He is a problem though
@rosscoarsenal Other players make mistakes too, but Denilson makes a lot, isn't getting better and doesn't even do basics such as tracking
@MarcussDeane if you watched him then you'd see he plays like mikel where he intercepts and gives the ball too our playmakers.
@MarcussDeane and i've watched Denilson more closely than other players. he has vastly improved.
@rosscoarsenal Well agree to disagree. I see a player with a poor work rate, too often goes missing and doesn't seem to care. Not a winner
(@MrGunnerBaines)@MarcussDeane I think Denilson has done very well so far this season! Is a very underrated player, we have better balance with him
The first one is from @DarrenArsenal1 who is a very good online journalist AFAIK, speaks a lot of sense.... most of the time.
