Allardyce, speaking on the No Tippy Tappy Football podcast, slammed Salah for reacting like a 'big baby' after being withdrawn late in Liverpool's 1-0 win over Nottingham Forest. He urged the forward to stop blaming Slot and to get back to scoring.
Slot's decision to sub Salah in the 77th minute was justified by match data: no shots, no duels won, 72% pass completion, no dribbles and two dribbles lost. The move allowed Rio Ngumoha to come on and help Liverpool secure the win, showing Slot's willingness to act for the team's benefit.
