"Windsor Park, I agree, is not an easy place to play. They will tell you they have beaten Spain and England there, but they have also lost to Poland, Austria, Iceland and Wales and conceded 12 goals in the process.
"So we know it is a place where they can be turned over. That is what we will try and do.
"For this game we do not want to show our hand too much ahead of the trip to Dublin, we want to see our options but we also want to win.
"With a full house, as the Spanish and the English will tell you, they are very difficult to play against. They seem to produce better performances against the big nations, they like to go in as underdogs.
"A lot of the top stars go to Belfast, see the ground and go into the dressing room, and they look around and there's hardly room to swing a cat and that makes them depressed. Northern Ireland take advantage of that.
"But they have been beaten by three goals at home a lot recently, we scored three times and missed a penalty. It's one thing to talk about the fine results they had against England and Spain, but we do know they do concede goals and lose matches."
