Allardyce shrugs off Liverpool coach comments
Sam Allardyce has shrugged off comments by Liverpool Football Club coach Rafael Benitez.
The Reds boss again criticised Allardyce and his Blackburn Rovers side following the meeting of the two teams at Anfield last Sunday, which the home side won 2-1.
"It just galls him that we make things difficult for him when he plays against my teams,” Allardyce told the Mail on Sunday. "There's no love lost between us.
"The truth is Liverpool are having to dig out results when they are not playing well. They didn't particularly earn the win last week but they dug it out.
"My reputation has been a perception for some time rather than a reality. It's a great shame for the Blackburn players because it's not their fault the manager is tagged by a so-called long-ball style.
"It's just not factual."
