Allardyce, speaking on the No Tippy Tappy Football podcast, said Salah was "behaving like a big baby" after being withdrawn during Liverpool's win at Nottingham Forest. He warned the forward to stop blaming Slot and to focus on scoring.
Slot's decision was backed by data: Salah had no shots, no duels won, 72% pass completion, no dribbles and was dribbled past twice. The substitution allowed Rio Ngumoha to come on and help Liverpool secure the win.
