Salah Told to Stop Blaming Slot for Poor Form

Allardyce criticizes Salah for blaming manager after substitution during nine-game goal drought. The former England boss says Salah needs to take responsibility for his own performances.

Former England manager Sam Allardyce has criticized Mohamed Salah for blaming manager Arne Slot after being substituted during Liverpool's recent win at Nottingham Forest. Allardyce called Salah "behaving like a big baby" and urged him to "bite the bullet" rather than blaming his manager.

Salah has gone nine Premier League games without a goal, and match data showed he had no shots, won no duels, and completed just 72% of his passes when substituted in the 77th minute. Allardyce's comments come as Liverpool's title ambitions hinge on their star forward rediscovering his form.
