He's been bashed a lot for being "selfish", you of all people should well remember that. I guess he wanted to make the pass at the best and safest possible time, which was a bad decision but passing the ball to Krasic was still a much better option than shooting the ball himself and it was a still a great chance to score. When you are running beside a player who has the ball and an only keeper ahead, you must anticipate to be given the ball at any second. Ale sure could have done better but it was still a very easy opportunity.
