Painful, Problematic, But Incredibly Promising - Hello 2022!

Description
Happy New Year from That Sums It All Up, and welcome back to the first episode of 2022! I'm joined once again by Johnny Rosen to pick apart Arsenal's 2-1 home loss to Manchester City. We discuss the exceptional first half performance from a Mikel Arteta-less (on the sidelines) Arsenal, highlighting Thomas Partey, Takahiro Tomiyasu, Gabriel Martinelli, and Bukayo Saka's outstanding contributions. We reflect upon the team's dominance over City in that first half as a culmination of the belief, positivity, and promise that the collective and individual efforts are conjuring at this moment in time .Then, we assess the more contentious talking points of the game - VAR, penalty decisions, Gabriel's red card, and Stuart Attwell's individual refereeing performance - this leads onto the broader issues of accountability, diversity, and change. After summing up how we, as Arsenal fans, are feeling after that performance, result, and sense of injustice, we look ahead to our FA Cup clash with Nottingham Forest, the Carabao Cup semi-finals vs Liverpool, and the North London Derby looming large in a week's time.
