    Seriously?O Neill and Keane have shown how bad they are at motivating players for games more than anything in the past.
    We have seen over and over again in the past especially against lesser opposition how negative we have been and these guys are supposed to have fired up the team before they go out.

    On paper you would think they would be perfect to fire up a team but i cant say its been something we are known for.

    We always seem to play safe football with little passion of fight,looking at harry arter rolling around like he had been hit over the head with a baseball bat in the last game and the others just watching him without getting stuck in was a joke.

    I always thought teams under mccarthy and charlton played with passion and fire but with the two we have now i just dont see it.

    Having said all that i really hope they go out and show the passion and fight to get the job done.

    Being a Celtic battle may actually work in your favour more tonight than it would've having to go somewhere like Austria or even Georgia last..

    Player's are all familiar, teammates, rival's etc and a lot easier to get yourself up for individual battles. Factor in what happened to Coleman. I'd have that up on the wall before kick off for anyone daring to pull out of 1 challenge..

    You can have 2/3 first teamers out of either side but Bale out is completely different. I seriously think yous are gonna take a win here..

    We haven't lacked fight under O'Neill and Keane, at all. Just ability.

    Not every bad performance in football is due to a lack of motivation.

    Just look at our last game ,we go 2-0 up and the 2nd half was a disgrace, absolute rubbish.

    Sure we won but it was shocking football to watch and that wasnt down to ability ,we were playing against rubbish and we couldnt kick on in the 2nd half.

    I would love to know what was said to them at half time by keane and o neill because they didnt play like a fired up team.

    But look we both want a win tonight so lets just hope your rite and they play like a team full of passion and fight.

    Brady, Hendrick and McLean the 3 behind Murphy I think will deffo cause problem's..

    Saw Hendrick in the 10 for Burnley at Goodison and he was really good..

    Welsh side looks like they can be got at. Williams is all but done and Chester is poor in my opinion. Robson Kanu up top his self..

    Think that's a good team, maybe over reliant on McClean for pace and width but Arter, Brady and Hendrick are all very good players. Brady and Hendrick have been immense for Burnley this season.

    Is there a reason Wales don't play at the Millennium Stadium anymore?
