Daily Mirror IconSportFootballMohamed SalahLiverpool star Mohamed Salah is enduring a difficult season in front of goal for the Reds this season and he has now been sent a scathing message by former England boss Sam AllardyceMohamed Salah has been told that he is ‘behaving like a big baby’ as his miserable season for Liverpool continues. He also afforded himself a smirk at the weekend as he was taken off before the end of Liverpool’s win against Nottingham Forest.That behaviour has not gone down particularly well with former England boss Allardyce, who has torn into the Liverpool forward.Speaking on the No Tippy Tappy Football podcast, he said: “Mohamed Salah needs to bite the bullet, sit down, and make sure he starts scoring.

Don’t do it in front of everyone; he’s behaving like a big baby.”Allardyce is not the first man to have criticised Salah for his display against Forest. He is out of contract in 2027 but he remains linked with a big-money move to Saudi Arabia.On his future, Rafael van der Vaart said: "There were games he performed not at his best and everyone writes him off, but over a full season, even at this age, he shows everyone how good he is. [On Mohammed Salah] Having a big player and a big name is sometimes a problem for both the player and coach."When you expect certain things as a coach from him, and he doesn't do it, then of course you have the right to put him on the bench, but because it's Mohamed Salah, this can cause a massive issue – in every press conference every question will be on Salah.
