Allardyce Criticises Salah After Slot Substitution

Allardyce, speaking on the No Tippy Tappy Football podcast, called Salah a "big baby" for his reaction to being withdrawn in the 77th minute of Liverpool's 1-0 win at Nottingham Forest. He urged the forward to stop blaming manager Arne Slot and to focus on getting back to goal-scoring form.

Slot's decision was backed by data: Salah had no shots, no duels won and only 72% pass completion, prompting the manager to bring on Rio Ngumoha for fresh impetus. The substitution helped Liverpool secure the win, but Salah's nine-game goal drought remains a concern for the club's title ambitions.
