New long-term deal for Salah illustrates the belief in Klopp's project

Time For Liverpool To Prove Nice Guys Can Finish First
Bias exists in football, there is no doubt about that.
We all overly heap praise on the teams we support and the players we love, while those we dislike must do something magical to earn a similar level of adoration.
One thing that has nothing to do with favouritism, however, is just what a likeable bunch of players Liverpool have nowadays. Sure, we will instantly warm to our own players more than Man United or Everton fans would, but even …

Observations as weary Reds lose at Stamford Bridge
Liverpool's extraordinary Champions League run has been truly unforgettable, but their recent Premier League exploits have been anything but.
