Allardyce Criticises Salah After Slot Substitution

On the No Tippy Tappy Football podcast, former England manager Sam Allardyce called Mohamed Salah “behaving like a big baby” after Arne Slot pulled him from the 77th minute of Liverpool’s 1‑0 win over Nottingham Forest. Allardyce urged the striker to stop blaming the manager and focus on scoring.

Slot’s substitution was justified by data: Salah had no shots, won no duels and completed only 72% of his passes. With a nine‑match goal drought, Liverpool’s title hopes hinge on his output, and Slot’s decision to bring on Rio Ngumoha was a tactical move to secure the win.
