Yes, on balance I think Foden would have been the right option. I just don’t think it was so clear cut as others do. Pl goalkeepers are trained to read those situations, Alisson was probably 80%+ sure that Mahrez was going to shoot and positioned himself accordingly. If Mahrez had decided to pass, his body position would have changed and, in such a tight position, would have been looking at Foden immediately before passing. Alisson would have read that and been moving towards Foden at the time of that freeze frame shot.
Also, how many times have we berated our players for trying one pass too many when they should have shot ? It's easy to say a decision was wrong in hindsight.

There are a number of times I think we shoot when we should pass or pass when we should shoot, suspect you are right that it is easy to criticise with the benefit of hindsight. None the less though it is infuriating.Also, how many times have we berated our players for trying one pass too many when they should have shot ? It's easy to say a decision was wrong in hindsight.

But not too many mentions of the poor first touch, which hugely reduced the chance - seemed to me the pass was into his stride and a no-touch first time chip with plenty more space to clear the keeper would have been a better call.Yes, on balance I think Foden would have been the right option.

Exactly the same penalty that Jota got against Wolves (or Watford)!I’d suggest that this incident could not be construed as him claiming a foul, could he have done anything about VVD pushing him out into Allison?

The bit that seems to be being overlooked here is that Matip actually deflects the ball over the bar.But not too many mentions of the poor first touch, which hugely reduced the chance - seemed to me the pass was into his stride and a no-touch first time chip with plenty more space to clear the keeper would have been a better call.
Haaland or Kane and this game means nothing as we are already clear . Should have kept Torres aswell .we could have been 2 up and flying. but like the other post said you have to give some credit to the keeper
but i still feel a kane or haaland score that
