As Arteta says, its process. Last year we learnt how to attack and this season we are learning how to defend and be solid. Next season hopefully we will learn how to tie them together.
It is interesting though as that is also how Arteta started his Arsenal career. Tightening the defence while our scoring dropped a lot compared to how it was during the Emery era.
A slight issue is of course that they are not independent of each other, asserting more control through reduced risk also gives less rewards. I guess that it’s about finding the right balance though.

I’m hoping we learn how to tie them together this season

Next season? It’s been 4 years of Arteta ball buddy. How many seasons do we need? We’re winning the league this year.
It’s hard enough to do without referees fuckin us over and an injury crisis
