Aina is being punished by the coach for going to AFCON. Prior to the tournament, he was a regular starter in the team. He has been playing again in recent weeks

This is an issue that we all should pay attention to. Unfortunately, we continue to defer to these Managers as if they are always objective judges of talent. They are not. Here this lad is punished for representing his country. How many European players get punished for doing the same? There are numerous examples of this type of biased decision making by these managers and we mostly point to them as objective.

He is why I try not to write players off for having a bad game. I almost did after his early performances against South Africa and Algeria in 2017, but he has proven he belongs in the SE starting 11!!!!

Most consistent how? Please stop the hype!

You are unfairly criticizing Aina! As i saied there aren't better alternatives. Now tell us, who would you play as RB?

Hype? Who was the more consistent in Cameroon? When was Aina's last poor game for Nigeria? Or how do you define consistency?

Aina is literally undroppable from the team, he remains one of our best and most consistent players for the NT regardless of his club form, I heard he will be making a summer move to one of the decent EPL clubs like Crystal Palace, West Ham etc well.

Aina is one of the first names on any starting 11.

It's pretty much Osimehn, Ndidi, Aina

The rest can change on any given day.

Ebuehi, Bassey, Omeruo or Awaziem, Sanusi

Balogun is about to retire from the team.

We need backups as well

Aina, Jordan Torunarigha, Bassey, Zaidu

Add Bassey and Iwobi, both are VERY key players for us.

Jordan T and Bassey are both LCB/LB.
