Allardyce Blames Salah, Not Slot, for Liverpool Drought

On the No Tippy Tappy Football podcast, former England manager Sam Allardyce slammed Mohamed Salah for his reaction to being withdrawn in Liverpool’s 2‑1 win over Nottingham Forest. Allardyce said the striker was “behaving like a big baby” and told him to stop blaming manager Arne Slot for his lack of goals.

Slot’s decision to take Salah off in the 77th minute was backed by data: the forward had no shots, won no duels, completed only 72 % of his passes and was dribbled past twice. With a nine‑match goal drought, Liverpool’s title hopes hinge on the striker’s return to form.
