Arsenal defender Kolo Toure has revealed he was 'scared' aboutplaying Hull City before the Gunners' defeat to the Premier Leaguenewcomers at the weekend.
                                                                                               
Thecentre-back claimed that matches against the lesser lights of theleague are harder matches simply because the expection is there to winand to win well. And for that reason he believes players at the topclubs go into the games with trepidation.
The Tigers pulled offone of the shocks of the season by coming back from behind to win 2-1at the Emirates Stadium, a result which boss Arsene Wenger said madehim 'feel sick'.
Now Arsenal must look to bounce back from that disappointment tonight when they entertain FC Porto in the Champions League.
"I was scared to play the game," said the Ivory Coast international.
"Sometimespeople, not the players, play the game before it's started and that's aproblem because there are no small teams in the Premiership.
"AgainstMan United everybody thinks it's going to be a tight game but when youplay against Hull it's harder because you are expected to win and scorein the first minute.
"But it doesn't happen like that. I was scared against Hull because there are no easy games.
"We are professional players and when we go out we want to play well and win."
