Maybe.
But we’ve seen every year of our existence fancy flicks from Villa that don’t work and lead to immediate counterattacks in our end with many leading to goals. There’s a time/place for that style of play, and it’s not when trying to break a fierce press. Ring is also typically the one that winds up having to stop the resulting counter-attack. Play smart, play safe, and act dignified like a captain should even when subbed off - no acknowledgement of the coach and then pouting was not captain-like.
I give props to Ring for being angry about the play on the field and not being afraid to call out Villa. Ring was also hugely pissed at Chanot during the match. He’s typically a guy that lets his play do the talking, so if he uses his mouth, it’s probably something that’s pushed him over the edge.
