Allardyce Slams Salah as Goal Drought Tests Slot's Selection Calls

Sam Allardyce's rebuke intensifies scrutiny of Mohamed Salah's form at Liverpool.

Overview

  • Allardyce labeled Salah's touchline reaction to being substituted as "behaving like a big baby" and urged him to raise issues privately.
  • Salah was taken off in the 77th minute at Nottingham Forest during a run of nine Premier League games without a goal.
  • Match reports cited a poor display at the City Ground, noting no shots, no duels won, roughly 72% pass completion and no dribble attempts.
  • Jamie Carragher said 17-year-old Rio Ngumoha "did more in 15 minutes" than senior forwards and argued the teenager should start.
  • Coverage continues to note uncertainty over Salah's longer-term future, with a contract to 2027 and renewed links to Saudi clubs reported.
