Allardyce Criticises Salah After Slot Substitution

Allardyce, speaking on the No Tippy Tappy Football podcast, said Salah was 'behaving like a big baby' after being withdrawn in the 77th minute of a 1-0 win at Nottingham Forest. He criticised the striker for not scoring after nine Premier League games without a goal.

Slot's decision was justified by data: Salah had no shots, no duels won, 72% pass completion, no dribbles and was beaten twice. The substitute, Rio Ngumoha, helped Liverpool secure the win, and Allardyce urged Salah to stop blaming Slot and focus on scoring.
