Because as Mellotron said, he doesn't look up. If he had and found there wasn't an option, as you rightly say, then he wouldn't have crossed, looked behind and tried to set up another attack.
If there had been an option he still wouldn't have found it. When they named him man of the match I laughed out loud. I know they were struggling but Kusczak deserved it more for his first half performance at least. KLL was in that game the exact embodiment of what Gus Poyet called wrong...
Exactly. He only got MoM last week because the others were so pony. That comic moment when he crossed it and it bounced off the defender twice to give him a third go which he wasted summed it up. he had more of the ball than Buckley, but Will was much more threatening when he had it.
