Justin Hoyte claims there is no extra pressure on his shoulders
being only one of two English players in Arsenal's line-up.
Hoyte and Theo Walcott are The Gunners' only home-grown players
following the departures of Sol Campbell and Ashley Cole last
year.
The former Sunderland loanee believes the expectation to win
consistently is pressure enough, regardless of nationality.
"I don't feel any pressure on my shoulders," he told Arsenal TV
Online. "We're all here to do the same job, and that's win football
matches.
"Whether the players are English or foreign, everyone who puts on
an Arsenal shirt wants to perform for the club.
"You only realise who is foreign when players go away for
international duty. The fans are fully behind me and Theo.
"We are English boys, so the fans back us fully and give us great
support - as does the manager."
