Another ignorant what??

Presidents biography that is full of lies! Mtchew

I don't blame you since this country has already cancelled History as a secondary school subject, leaving people like you vulnerable to being deceived by cheap propaganda

Sorry I thought I was talking to someone who can actually read.

full of lies, yet he's your president

What does that make you?

A lying illiterate became your president?

in your faceeeee

timay:
I'm sure that was the only instance you could mention (Cameroon match), which can happen once in a while. Even the best defenders gets turned once in a while

Collins on the other hand gets turned on the regular by even the most average of wingers. Against Brazil , I just dey shame on behalf of the guy. At a point, the Brazilian team noticed that he's the weak point and Firmino and Gabriel Jesus started making use of his wings. Even a makeshift Awaziem doesn't get turned on a regular like Collins. Nigga is pathetic.

How many goals has all the Colins "turning " in your view against worthy opponents caused Nigeria?

I'm waiting for figures

Danielnino00:
Aina was turned over and over at which AFCON?
Against which team?

Collins returned to the team cus he was originally designed to start until he got injured... having recovered, Rohr didn't want to leave him on the bench...
Aina is better than Collins and Idowu at LB abeg. the only aspect of his game that he needs to work on is his occasional loss of concentration.
The Aina of post world cup era has greatly improved!

Yes he was overturned, check the Cameroon game

So are you saying Rohr was sentimental or stupid enough to bench a good player for a not so good one?

The same him that went to shop for Colins while Aina was already in camp and playing that position?

Wait till we play worthy opponents, then we will know if he's now betteroff as the LB compared to Colins that the coach prefer

Danielnino00:
U didn't watch Aina play left back at the AFCON? or U don't know that he plays LB and LWB regularly at Torino?

Left back at AFCON that got him turned all over again until Rohr had to start using Colins?

Or why did Colins end up playing most of the remaining AFCON games as the LB?

Club form is way different from country, afterall the same Colins is balling for his club with goals to his name abi you no no?

Frankiss44:
What of your president that had to present an affidavit for just waec result and had 100 SANS to back it up

See ignorance

So because some political fools were challenging his waec certificate means he didnt go to school?

Do you know that waec is his least educational certificate?

Least of his educational certificate

I hope you know what that means?

midnighter:
How can you use the president to make a point? Is the president a good example of an uneducated leader?

Does the country look normal to you with him at the helm of affairs

Another ignorant fellow

Go and read your president 's biography

Maybe you don't know how to read or very gullible to actually believe he's not educated

uvie66:
is your president highly educated ?

See ignorance

Danielnino00:
As poor as Jamilu Collins is,I'll still prefer him to Idowu. Idowu na confirmed carpenter. Having him on that left flank will dull our offensive play...

If Rohr can't get another left footed left back, then let's continue with Aina there....he is better than Collins and Idowu combined

Based on a game against LESOTHO?

How can he be better than both of them combined? make una soft pedal with this hype and wait until we see him against worthy teams

komekn:
If you can not prove his age then what is purpose of your proposition.

It's vice versa, you can not have it both ways.

Unfortunately and shamefully Nigeria does not have OFFICIAL AUTOMATIC BIRTH DATA CAPTURE. As a consequence it is IMPOSSIBLE to have official age verification in Nigeria.

In Nigeria we rely entirely on personal integrity which knowing our country and it's value system is very very weak indeed.

We can't even have basic free and fair elections.


Consider your claim in bold and the substanceof your initial statement. i.e. " were you there when he was born "

So back to you, prove that Ahmed Musa is 27 ❓

27 is on his legal document which is above anything else in validity

now prove to us that he's below or above that age

forgiveness:
Rohr wanted a natural left footed player. The reason he drafted Collins and Chukwueze into team.

Maybe you didn't follow the thread then.

What I said and what you typed don't correlate

forgiveness:
Rohr wanted a natural LB. It has nothing to do with ability.

It does
Idowu can't bench those in his natural position
can't also bench a natural lb
pure and simple
how many times has he played for us after the world cup?

darkelf:
I won't be so quick to conclude
We played against teams we are supposed to beat and ................

And the others we are praising played against who?

forgiveness:
Hmmm! Really!?
1. Teams Bryan played against
2. Teams Collins played against
Tell me which played against better opponents.

Currently is the link word
if he was so good, colins won't be in the picture

tbaba1234:
Ajayi was mainly at fault for the first.

The build up from the flank I meant

tbaba1234:
Awaziem was not shaky, solid game before the own-goal

What about the 1st goal?

forgiveness:
What would have happened if Collins was against Messi at the last world cup instead of Idowu?

And what did Idowu do against Messi?

Colins is currently playing against better opponents day in and out compared to Idowu

With some goals too

Joebie:
Which is why I had said, let's wait and see. I was specific to highlight the area of Aina's game that I like - intelligent plays. No wonder he is more of a wingback

Till then, but I don't see Rohr doing that again

Joebie:
Yes but Aina's time with Torino may have improved him. I hardly focus on past. I'm looking at the present.

He's yet to play that position for us against serious teams of recent unlike Colins, so can only judge him with his last performance there against a stronger side

forgiveness:
Idowu has faired well in gwg. Even against the almighty Argentina at the world cup.

What people have against him is offensive side of his game but I think he is still better than Collins in that area.

However, I want a natural LB in that position.

its untrue that Idowu is better than Colins defensively

charlesemeka85:
Nigeria grabbed their second AFCON 2021 qualifier victory on Sunday after beating Lesotho 4-2.

Allnigeriasoccer.com rounds up the performance of every of the Super Eagles player in action thus :

The Starters

Goalkeeper

Daniel Akpeyi: Caught unawares by Masoabi's early header but was composed otherwise and even bailed out his team on a couple if sloppy occasions. (7/10)

Defenders

William Troost-Ekong: Ably contained the Lesotho attackers and took no prisoners in his defending. (7/10)

Semi Ajayi: Reacted rather poorly after the cross leading to the conceded goal was put in, and was a false start on that note. Grew into the game as it went on and posted an assured display. Got in the book. (6/10)

Ola Aina: Yet another eye-catching showing from Aina. Astute defensively and was pacy both going up against the opposition and tracking back. Teed up Osimhen with a great assist. Based on his last two games for the Super Eagles, Aina has matured into a player with international quality. (8.5/10)

Chidozie Awaziem: Was a bit shaky. He inadvertently diverted into his own goal in the closing minutes. (5.5/10)

Midfielders

Wilfred Ndidi: Led the early press and saw a couple of shots fired wide. Held sway in the middle of the park as always. (7/10)

Joe Aribo: Had a quiet game and wasn't eager to join his mates in the attacking forays. Dropped back and kept passes rather simple. (6/10)




Alex Iwobi: Pulled his team level with a precise finish and set the pace for what could have been a difficult game for the Eagles. Showed flashes of his brilliance as their attacking verve took centre stage in Maseru. (8/10)

Attackers

Moses Simon: Stung Lichaba's palms with a long range drive and was a willing runner through the flank. Replaced by Samuel Kalu. (6.5/10)

Samuel Chukwueze: Dazzled on the right flank and was a nightmare on the break. Dropped in behind the Lesotho defence to score a top-drawer header. (7/10)

Victor Osimhen: Simply a five star display from the striker. Had the duo of Basia Makepe and Bokang Sello on the ropes for much of the game. Pinged in two assists for his teammates before joining the act with two great goals. (10/10)

The Substitutes

Ahmed Musa: Had few scraps to work on but his sharpness was glaring to see. (5/10)

Ramon Azeez: Looked a lot more adventurous after replacing Aribo and will pick out Osimhen with a nicely placed assist. (7/10)

Samuel Kalu: Showed his usual drive and trickery after his introduction but there was too little space as Lesotho retreated. (5/10)

2 back to back matches for Akpeyi with good rating and no errors from him.

Interesting

Joebie:
no, you are saying is possible to have a him as a GK coach squarely. If u say GK coach/player, then I would agree. The goalkeeper player thing na the koko. Enyeama is not hanging his gloves yet. Maybe he would accept the reality sooner or later.

ok papa johnbull

Joebie:
Aina will get even more comfortable playing that role in SE with time. Whether he would do well against stronger opponents, we will see when the time comes.

We will see ke?

He has been tested there against stronger teams, hence the emergence of Colins

Enroute Russia 2018

Have you forgotten?

Joebie:
haha GK coach? Someone who says he will still honor a call up to the team, no be as player? That still supports what I just said. Enyeama does not believe its time for him to hang his gloves.

So why did you then disagree with me?

We are saying the same thing baba

either ways

Joebie:
Oga still believes he has a professional career. He is training daily to get back. he is not going to hang his boots to coach SE right now from the look of things.

Either ways

Did he tell you he won't come if called up?

I still listened to him on radio about a month ago that he would not mind a call up by Rohr

Denied ever rejecting any call up

But I prefer him now as a GK coach if he goes that route

timay:
First paragraph, that comparison doesn't make sense because those guys you mentioned are obviously better and if we have people like them in our team, we won't be playing Aina on the left because they are obviously better than Aina.

At the bolded,
It's Same thing happening in the super eagles team.

So shift lemme see front

Then why quote me when I already concluded that Rohr should unearth an above average LB for us?
Aina at LB won't work against stronger teams

this is lesotho incase you forgot
Don't just be quoting

Joebie:
But I had already said Enyeama will not accept the responsibility.. so wetin u dey try start?

Enyeama told you that?

timay:
Spoiler alert.

Most right footed player that plays left back are mostly good with both feets. Ashley Young of Man Utd is an example. He played left back for England in the last world cup and he did well. There is a young left back from Man Utd academy that was promoted recently, Brandon Williams, he's right footed too and can make good crosses with both his feet.
It's even an advantage sef, cos most defenders won't know if you want to cross or cut in, because u are two footed.

Lastly Aina has played generally more on the left than on the right for the past two years now, so I'm sure he would have adapted.

So if you have players like Udeze, Taiwo or Babayaro, you will play Aina at LB ahead of them?

Secondly, those names you listed above are playing these roles because the natural LBs are either inexperience or not good enough.

We are saying this because we are yet to get an above-average LB (Not like Colins is bad). I am the kind that likes square pegs in square holes.

Crossing is part of our siggy, just that we haven't had much of them good crossers for a while now but they are getting better.

tbaba1234:
Nigeria does not cross much anyway. At Torino, Aina plays more from the left

isan:
Won't work out the team will have factions all the name above will have thier own loyal players

Until then..

Joebie:
I will take a top-form Ebuehi on the right and leave Aina on the left. That would be GOLD

Until we play intelligent countries/coaches/players, then yansh go spread berekete.

Rohr should help me unearth an above average LB in the likes of Udeze, Babayaro and Taiye Taiwo

Enyeama was with us for more than 10 years, all of a sudden he can't work with the NFF? maybe you meant some new faces in the NFF. BTW, he was in the camp in Uyo, so I don't think his issues with the NFF is that deep. If HE had a club or playing club football, he would have been back in the SE as a GK under Rohr no matter what.

Eguaveon is a good defensive coach too o. Yes he can score too.

Our squad is too rich now not to achieve great things ahead.

Humility017:
please remove enyeama he has temprament issues...he can't work with the NFF.

Equaveon is an attacking minded coach ooo. ... he score alot and some times concede too

True, Ikeme (Audio) is there but then, between Ikeme and Enyeama, if you are told to pick someone to assist in the GK coaching department, who will you go for?

Joebie:
Wetin happen to Ikeme?
Enyeama no go accept that responsibility.
Amuneke is better than all these pretenders.
Abi make we go find Kalika join
