Arsenal succumb to Anfield atmosphere
Mikel Arteta knows all too well how perilous the Anfield atmosphere can be. The Spaniard admitted that the one time he felt overawed in his playing career was away at Liverpool, while his pre-match press conference was spent almost entirely discussing his touchline spat with Jurgen Klopp there last season.
The all-encompassing nature of the atmosphere in this stadium means that once Pandora's box is open it's nye on impossible to close it. For the first 35 minutes of the game Arsenal did a decent job fastening it shut.
