Yeah, he wasn't part of the 18 apparently due to injury (hopefully minor). ATXFC Twitter said an injury came to light late in the week that's being evaluated.
We definitely missed Ring in the this game, Pereira is a decent player but he doesn't have the experience and the bite to play that holding midfield role. Dominguez was really quiet today but I also think he shifted a bit more central and out of his natural position as the match went on, and Stroud again put in a really solid shift and created some good chances. Pochettino was more involved but also tracking back a lot to try to cover more of Ring's role. Stuver was a beast, that penalty save was brilliant and he had a few other big ones.
Overall our lack of speed on defense got exposed without Ring helping to cover, I feel like we could use a quicker centerback to pair alongside Besler rather than Romana. Not a terrible match against one of the best teams in the league and Chicharito is on an incredible run of form, but we need to start winning a few of these that are in reach.
