Denilson was different, he actually killed our game, slowed us down, broke up our play rather like the massively overrated Diaby. Fact is, we need better players than any of these full stop. That kid Coquelin was twice as effective as Ramsey today even though he made a few mistakes. Ox was also far more effective even though he didn't have a decisive impact. So Ramsey is a bit anonymous which is not as bad as Denilson who had a negative effect on the whole team.
Ramsey has a negative effect on our team. Since coming back our midfield looks disjointed again and open. That's worse than Denilson's effect. Teams are dominating us now and that never used to happen. A few months back when he was out injured and it was Rosicky, Song and Arteta, we looked like the old Arsenal that was deadly. He's a serious problem and has to come out of the team. He plays in a crucial role and it's really killing us.
