Mikel Arteta’s bizarre Arsenal training ground tactics for a Liverpool match has been labelled “pathetic” by a former Premier League striker.
On Tuesday, a video clip from Amazon Prime’s upcoming documentary about Arsenal emerged previewing the programme. In the clip, it showed Arteta playing ‘You’ll Never Walk Alone’ during a Gunners training session.
The session was before Liverpool faced Arsenal in the Premier League clash at Anfield last November. The Reds won the game 4-0 thanks to goals from Sadio Mane, Diogo Jota, Mohamed Salah and Takumi Minamino.

In the aftermath of the clip emerging, plenty of Liverpool fans and supporters of other clubs have mocked Arsenal for the tactic. Now former Aston Villa striker Gabriel Agbonlahor has weighed in with his views.
Agbonlahor has labelled the tactic as “pathetic”, and went on to reference Liverpool’s 4-0 scoreline at Anfield.
“First of all, this documentary is going to be funnier than a Kevin Hart standup,” Agbonlahor told Talksport . “That is the most pathetic thing I’ve seen.
“If I was on that pitch training I would probably find it funny. You’d be laughing with your teammates.
“When they are playing in the Europa League and playing Fenerbahce away, are they going to get flares for the training ground and drums? Someone coming in to play drums while they are training?
“Honestly, it’s ridiculous. The players are not going to be on board with that.
“They lost the game by how many goals, was it 4-0? These are international players who have played in big atmospheres.
“I’m baffled.”
