"Last season was a grind, but also one of the best seasons that I've ever experienced, with the most beautiful ending," Stillman said.
"This season will be different because Arsenal have tossed the monkey from their back, so it should no longer feel as though we're snipping the wires of a time bomb in every single game," he added.
He emphasized that tactical adjustments in attack remain a central topic among supporters.
"The big talking point is how we can tune up the attack a little – 71 goals is a low tally for a champion," Stillman said.
Regarding key squad members, he highlighted the importance of physical fitness for core players. "Our key player will be Bukayo Saka, if he's fit," Stillman said.
