I really wish it was both cases, I wish it's Del Piero's fault that he fucked up the pass and I wish it was Krasic poor finishing.

I wish they always do something similar when we're winning. Just to piss the likes of Razielis.
Chill, I am nowhere near being pissed.

Great. I used to play violin, I have connections there. But it was a long time ago, so I don't know if they will remember me.
Doesn't matter, throw in some celebrity names when you're calling them, remember they are old they won't remember what you promised. I think we can get a good deal here.

You know what will happen? Ale will make a perfect pass (instead of a near perfect one) and Krasic will still miss :frown2:
Yep, I'm afraid nine out of ten times that will happen. But that one time, that one special time, is when us Del Piero haters will show ourselfs and that will make our day!

Why not? Ale must have passed the keeper, stopped the ball on the line and asked Krasic to come and score. Otherwise it's only Del Piero to blame.
That one time when someone chokes? :p

And Ale should have been a striker and just scored a goal. He should have used krasic as a distraction for the keeper and should have scored himself or passed earlier so that krasic didn't had to struggle.

But here is what I really think - Del Piero tried to score, but the ball had a bad bounce and he tried to save the bad situation he put himself in and did a desperate pass to krasic, who wasn't expecting a pass so late.

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.

No arguments there. And Del Piero was no more selfish then any other of our forwards this year, but we are not talking about ball hogging or shooting from bad positions when one could have passed to a teammate in a better position we are talking on situation where he went one on one vs keeper and in these situations strikers should be more selfish, in fact scoring is what they are paid for and they should score and if they decide otherwise they should make 100% that the teammate can score and not blunder the simple pass and see what happens.

Del Piero made some big misses lately, perhaps he lost some confidence with it. Passing was a better option anyway, imo. It was less risky because you take the goalkeeper out of the way.

But he shouldn't have waited so long in the first place. That is the whole point, he made a mistake to not pass or shoot at goal.
