Arsene Wenger has paid tribute to Tomas Rosicky, Alexander
Hleb and Cesc Fabregas.
The midfield trio once again combined to great effect as The
Gunners kept up the pressure on Premier League leaders Manchester
United with a 3-0 victory over Fulham on Saturday.
Wenger admits Rosicky's style reminds him of former Arsenal wideman
Robert Pires, while he feels Hleb provides Arsenal with
variety.
"Rosicky is more of a Pires-type and Hleb is more for me a guy who
attracts people to the ball, and then slides it through," reflected
the Arsenal manager.
"Alex looks like he always slows the game down to speed it up
again. He is more of a dribbler and a passer, whereas Tomas is more
of the guy who is in the flow of the game, a little bit similar to
Pires.
"When you have them all in there, it always looks easy and simple
to play football.
Same
wavelength
"When you get that kinds of vibes out from a team, that means they
are all on the same wavelength."
"At the moment, I feel we can score from everywhere - Rosicky,
Fabregas they can score, Hleb maybe scores less, but he makes
others score."
Manchester United and Chelsea also won over the weekend and Wenger
expects the title race to go to the wire.
He said: "What is interesting now is we have 54 points, Manchester
United have 54, Chelsea have 50. It looks to be very
exciting.
"Last year at that period we were not in the race - this year we
are highly in the race. We really want to do it."
