Watch Southampton vs Huddersfield Town Live StreamingThe pair have history dating back to Benitez's first encounter with Wanderers in August 2004, when Sami Hyypia sustained a broken nose in the opening minutes of a game that ended in defeat for the Reds.
Allardyce said of his pre-match criticism: "It was only because Liverpool have a go at me and because I am entitled to respond when I get criticised by Rafa Benitez.
"If you don't understand that over the last few years, you must be deluded.
"Not this time but many other times I have been criticised personally by the manager."
Allardyce felt his side deserved more out of the game, adding: "If we had had a goalscorer we would have won the game on chances created.
"We haven't come here and hung on, we've dominated the game for long periods.
"We had five bookings and 25 fouls given against us, which was, for me, a wrong reflection on how we played."
