Petrov is one of the clubs best attacking players.
First things first, sort him out with a new 1 or 2 year contract.
Secondly, get him starting on the left wing. Not the right wing. Change it round if he's not producing on the left, but to continually start him on the right wasnt working.
In regards to Wednesday, I would have had him on before Ireland. The whole mentality was wrong, we had to go behind in the tie before we tried to win it again. It was Mark Hughes style management. Once United were firmly on top after HT, I would have had Garrido off, Zabs to LB, Petrov on the left and Craig up top with Tevez. Change it round, give them something else to worry about. We needed to carry and attacking threat, United were comfrortable apart from one moment of Tevez magic in containing us.
I can handle a defeat if you go out there trying to win. Its when we go out there trying not to lose that getting beat winds me up.
