Arsene Wenger has admitted he will swing the axe at Arsenal after being sickened by Saturday's shock loss to Hull City... Hull came from behind to claim a sensational 2-1 victory at the Emirates, Tigers duo Geovanni and Daniel Cousin scoring in the second half to cancel out Paul McShane's own goal. “What was most disappointing is that we struggled to score in the first half, finally went 1-0 up, yet still lost the game,” Wenger said in The Sun. “That is where we were guilty. We worked so hard to get ahead and then we let it go again.” It was a lacklustre display from the Gunners, and one which brought them crashing back to Earth after their youngsters' 6-0 thrashing of Sheffield United last week. The result also sees the London giants concede top spot to Chelsea, who lead Liverpool on goal difference after winning 2-0 against Stoke City. Wenger is still livid that his men went down so softly, and he revealed that there will be a few casualties ahead of Tuesday's Champions League clash against Porto. “There were enough ingredients to make me physically sick,” he said “What we delivered was not good enough and we all know that. There will certainly be changes for Tuesday. “When you have an opportunity to go top of the Premier League, the very least expected is that you have the correct level of intensity in your concentration right from the start. “I would say the electric level in our head was not high enough.” It was Arsenal's second defeat of the season, having also fallen to Fulham at Craven Cottage on August 23.
