Mikel Arteta has defended his outside of the box approach of motivating his players ahead of Arsenal's Premier League clash with Liverpool at Anfield.
Arteta was captured during Amazon's All or Nothing documentary series piping the sounds of 'You'll Never Walk Alone' into the Gunners' training session at London Colney ahead of the corresponding fixture last season. The unorthodox technique backfired however, as his side were on the receiving end of a 4-0 hammering, prompting widespread criticism of his methods.
Speaking ahead of his side's return to Anfield this weekend though, Arteta insisted that he has no regrets over the ploy. Instead he feels it is important to do what he can to prepare his players for the cacophonous atmosphere that awaits Arsenal this weekend.
