ElasmoBranchii:the team overal was shabby so which majic should aina do... Simon should have started the final match not chukwueze.. perhaps osayi should have continued the final instead of zaidu return... |

Watianoengineer: You forgot that Emilio Nsue scored most of his goals against the Ivorians who later became the champion. Victor Osimhen is a good player, he isn’t overrated, if Nigeria’s midfield was good, the pressure wouldn’t have been on him that much. He fought for the balls and his effort resulted in most of the goals that Nigeria scored. 4 Likes |

Watianoengineer:Most of you have very minute football knowledge yet you put your big mouth into things you know nothing about. Comparing Osimhen to that guy is an unfair comparison. The question here should be how many dangerous passes/through passes were given to Osimhen by our lazy midfielders? How many chances were created for him? Was he being wasteful or he just wasn’t getting enough chances? The later is true, they were simply not creating chances for him. The midfield was not just creative at all and we were only being carried by our well-built and well-coordinated defense line. 2 Likes |

Olu1000: Did they forbid doubling up against Adingra? Don't multiple players mark tricky footballers like Robben or Messi? Why leave the guy alone against a younger, faster Winger? Blaming Aina is just wrong! The guy was outstanding during the tournament. 2 Likes |

OGHENAOGIE: Why could they not put an extra man on Adingra? I remember days when Madrid will put 3 players on Messi, to suffocate him. It was obvious Aina was struggling against the guy, so someone should have helped. Anybody blamimg the poor chap has no understanding of football, or is being plain tribalistic. 5 Likes |

Ejyksneh: Out of all the games played, you watched only the final ? And I guess you also heard when people said Aina lost penalty. So bad of you always be sure of what you are saying before coming online. Everyone, not only Nigerians know Aina was the best right back in the tournament. But he must have done something forbidden for him to play that way on the last day. No one was better than him in that role sir. 2 Likes 1 Share |

Ejyksneh: I can say You don't understand football because of my following arguments; 1. Versatility: Apart from Ola Aina, which other full back did you see in the concluded AFCON, that was capable of comfortably playing on the right or left with almost the same efficiency for his team? Ola Aina did that perfectly while still delivering his sick throw-ins and whipping crosses from either foot... dude was acting like he was on play station. 2. Offensive play/defensive play balance: We all saw his Offensive runs and defensive recovery runs after offence (bear in mind that he was not given the licence to fully attack like Zaidu)... he was a Rolls Royce of a full back in terms of bursting forward and tracking back, which gave him a higher work rate by default. 3. Skill set: abi you no see am? Ola Aina was moving like a well oiled machine I am not even complaining... he had long throw ins, could dribble, on both feet, could cross on both feet, was good in the air-dude hardly lost an aerial duel, and he was a good zonal cover. 4. Ola Ainas heat map: football these days can be easily analysed due to heat maps... O Aina had heavy heat maps compared to any fullback in all games he played... check out the data yourself To be honest Ola Aina outdid PSG's Hakimi by a mile ... I only blame Peseiro for opting to play defence fully instead of attack when the game needed it. Analyse the heat map of the final game and you would understand where the fault was... 8 of Nigeria's players were functioning deep all the time, I mean how on earth do you want Alex Iwobi to play like Ngolo Kante? Lookman had more touches in the defensive half because 8 players were fully stationed in defence. Chukwueze could not link because he was isolated... Look, I will give Ola Aina his flowers because he played sleek football. I knew he was the best RB in the AFCON. |

HBB1: Yes he was astounding but he was too tired for the final and shouldn’t have played. |
