I'm of the belief this would be more of a match engine hiccup rather than a case of decision making on the part of the player as I have seen this behaviour a few times. When successfully tackling the keeper, the player always attempts to shoot immediately instead of dribbling the ball to the goal, even when the angle is not conducive to a shot. I have attached a sample example.
Striker tackles the keeper and is clean through on goal, and is 5yds past the keeper and 25yds from the nearest other player. Instead of walking the ball into the goal or tapping it in he attempts to blast the ball in from a narrow angle, clattering the post and missing.
Have attached the game pkm and a clip of the miss. Time stamp 74mins, 40secs.
