Allardyce Criticises Salah After Slot Substitution

On the No Tippy Tappy Football podcast, Sam Allardyce called Mohamed Salah “behaving like a big baby” after Arne Slot pulled him in the 77th minute of Liverpool’s 1‑0 win at Nottingham Forest. Slot’s decision was data‑driven: Salah had no shots, won no duels, completed 72% of passes, did not dribble and was dribbled past twice. The substitution allowed Rio Ngumoha to come on and help secure the victory. Allardyce urged Salah to “bite the bullet” and stop blaming Slot for his own lack of goals.
