The winger is yet to make a consistent mark at international level - but says Craig Bellamy is the man to get the best out of him. Update: Date: 19:14 BST Title: 'There's no easy games these days' Content: Wales v Liechtenstein (19:45 BST) Danny GabbidonFormer Wales defender on BBC Radio Wales Sometimes these 'lesser' teams can be difficult, most of these international teams now are at a minimum well organised and technically at a decent level. There's no easy games these days, it's all down to Wales and how they perform and getting the game plan right. Update: Date: 19:13 BST Title: Bellamy calls for patient Wales Content: Wales v Liechtenstein (19:45 BST) This video can not be played Wales boss Craig Bellamy calls on his players to be patient in breaking down Liechtenstein Wales head coach Craig Bellamy has called on his players to be patient in breaking down Liechtenstein. Bellamy expects a similar test to the one posed by Kazakhstan in March where his side held a nervy 2-1 lead until Rabbi Matondo's first international goal in the 90th minute sealed three points. Update: Date: 19:11 BST Title: Post Content: Wales v Liechtenstein (19:45 BST) Nathan BlakeFormer Wales striker on BBC Radio Wales I fully expect Wales to score at least three or four goals this evening and win quite comfortably. Craig said himself he expects to win, but saying and doing are two different things. Update: Date: 19:10 BST Title: How it stands in Group J Content: Wales v Liechtenstein (19:45 BST) This is one of two games in World Cup qualifying Group J this evening, with top seeds Belgium belatedly starting their campaign with a trip to North Macedonia. Wales are currently second, behind North Macedonia on goal difference, with Kazakhstan in third courtesy of a 2-0 win over Liechtenstein, who are yet to get off the mark having also lost 3-0 at home to the North Macedonians in March. Wales, remember, won their group opener against Kazakhstan 3-1 on this ground before drawing in Skopje courtesy of that dramatic late goal by David Brooks. Update: Date: 19:09 BST Title: Wales have outside chance of winning group - Earnshaw Content: Wales v Liechtenstein (19:45 BST) Robert Earnshaw believes Wales have a chance of beating Belgium to top spot in their World Cup qualifying group – but says victory tonight is essential if they are to make that happen. Wales go to Belgium on Monday for what is on paper their toughest fixture in Group J. Wales will travel with some confidence having gone eight games unbeaten under Craig Bellamy - but the first task is to overcome Liechtenstein this evening. 'It's a must-win because when you look at the group, North Macedonia, they're on four points as well and of course almost beat Wales in the last game,' Earnshaw told BBC Radio Wales Breakfast. 'Belgium are now going to start their campaign and obviously they're the favourites to win it. 'But Wales I think will have that outside spot of really pushing this group. I think Wales can actually win it, but Belgium will be the favourites.' Update: Date: 19:07 BST Title: Pre-match numbers Content: Wales v Liechtenstein (19:45 BST) Like your pre-match stats?

This is game number nine of Craig Bellamy's Wales reign and, let's be honest, it has been an enjoyable ride up until now. Wales expects this evening. That is partly because of the impact Bellamy has made and partly because Liechtenstein are among the weakest international sides in Europe.
