Supporters were disappointed to lose two of the team's most influential players during the summer, with Fabregas rejoining Barcelona and Nasri moving to Manchester City.
Benayoun arrived from Arsenal's London rivals Chelsea on loan, along with several players acquired on the final day of the transfer window.
The Israel international hopes the fans are now starting to see the best from Arsene Wenger's signings.
"Fabregas and Nasri are both good players, and maybe the fans expected other names, or bigger names (to replace them)," Benayoun told The Mirror.
"But all the players bought on the last day have proved themselves and we are playing much better and winning games."
"The supporters now understand that we have a good team with a lot of quality, and I think they have forgotten about the other players already."
"We are only two points from Chelsea now, Tottenham and Manchester United are not that far ahead."
"We beat Chelsea away. If you do that, you can beat any team. We showed the quality and we just need to keep working in every game and prove ourselves."
Benayoun said he was enjoying his time at the Emirates Stadium, though he remained tight-lipped over whether or not he will be staying permanently.
"I can only concentrate on the loan and we will see at the end of the season," he said.
"Arsenal have the option to take me for the rest of my contract with Chelsea, another two years, but it's too early to speak about this."
