Arsenal midfielder Aaron Ramsey insists Wales must start learning to be consistent throughout a match, rather than just in purple patches.[LNB]The 18-year-old midfielder will be entrusted with the key playmaker role against Liechtenstein on Wednesday when Wales try to find some pride at the end of a deeply disappointing World Cup campaign.[LNB]Their 2-1 defeat in Helsinki on Saturday ended any hopes of finishing third in qualifying Group Four.[LNB]And apart from a seemingly encouraging first-half spell when they equalised with a Craig Bellamy goal, Wales fell away badly in a spiritless second period that lacked drive, leadership and purpose.[LNB]Now they face bottom of the group Liechtenstein, a game they surely dare not lose for the sake of their own prestige but one that has all the makings of a shock result for the erratic Wales youngsters.[LNB]Ramsey said: "We can play some good football like we showed when we scored our goal (in Helsinki), but we need to be doing that on a more regular basis throughout the game and not just in patches. We have to lift ourselves up now."
