Agree. We need to consolidate and build the foundations at the back. Control the ball, starve the other team of chances, and limit their opportunity for transitional attacks. We need to cut out the errors at the back though, I like to think its a teething issue and its something we can eradicate.
Arteta is trying to make us more of a machine, rather than a free-flowing football team that is ‘entertaining’. If you want ‘entertainment’, go and watch the WWF. This is competitive football and put simply, Arteta wants to minimize the chances other teams create at our end of the pitch.
the best way to win long term is to win by multiple goals tho, and continuously attack, as wenger used to say. constantly grinding out 1 goal games leads us susceptible to flukes / refs / variance. i think ultimately arteta still wants to attack
