Aaron Ramsdale has defended Mikel Arteta's decision to turn Arsenal's training ground into 'speakers' corner' before an away game at Liverpool - but doesn't believe the trick will be used again.
Arteta played 'You'll Never Walk Alone' to his Arsenal players to get them ready for a trip to Anfield back in November - with the moment captured in the club’s new All or Nothing documentary series on Amazon.
The aim of the move was to try and replicate Liverpool's famous atmosphere so Arsenal’s players would not be intimidated on the night. However, the Gunners still managed to lose the game.

Jurgen Klopp's side came out on top, winning 4-0 thanks to goals from Sadio Mane, Diogo Jota, Mohamed Salah and Takumi Minamino, and Ramsdale has admitted the atmosphere at Anfield is one that can get on top of opposition players.
The England goalkeeper said: “I've never experienced the speakers before. I don't think they will be coming back!
“But we could all see what the method was – it's one of those stadiums where, if it gets on top of you, it can be too much.”
Before he added: “His (Arteta's) team talks are definitely different. I think he keeps it fresh because sometimes he is writing, sometimes he talks, sometimes he lets some of the lads talk.
“It keeps you engaged and lets you into his life as well. There are new things we have found out about him over the past year that you would never find out unless he wrote a book or something.”
