Allardyce Urges Salah to Stop Blaming Slot After Substitution

Sam Allardyce told Liverpool star Mohamed Salah to stop blaming manager Arne Slot after being substituted in the 77th minute at Nottingham Forest. He said Salah was acting like a 'big baby' and must focus on scoring.

Allardyce, speaking on the No Tippy Tappy Football podcast, slammed Salah for reacting like a 'big baby' after being withdrawn late in Liverpool's 1-0 win over Nottingham Forest.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.
