Indeed Edu has played a lot better than Gilberto and it looks like he's now established himself next to Vieira, which is thoroughly deserved. Looks like we may have finally got a partner for Vieira in midfield, for the first time since Petit.

The point I was making is that having gone 1 up in a fairly even game I don't think the substitutions made by Wenger were the best way to hold the lead (or extend it). You may have gone on to equalize anyway but I think that had we kept our shape and continued to attack more we would probably have held on, it just seemed to end up giving you the initiative.
