Liverpool manager Kenny Dalglish, disappointed by his team’s recent poor form,
has arranged a seminar for the players to discuss their need for a “new philosophy”. His brow creased in a thoughtful frown, Dalglish noted that several schools of thought already exist in the dressing-room. “You’ve got Steven Gerrard, who’s got a phenomenological left foot. There’s Martin Skirtl who advocates a back four of Nietzschean supermen. Then you have Jamie Carragher who’s adopted the Sartrean motto ‘Hell is other players’.”
He went on to add, “In an ideal world, we wouldn’t need to have these sorts of discussions
and Liverpool would just win everything. But despite what some of the players seem to
think, this isn’t an ideal world. We need to get back to form, and I don’t mean the Platonic sort.”
