Phil Brown's men put in a disciplined display against Manchester City at the KC Stadium on Saturday and came away with a vital 2-1 victory that leaves them three points clear of the drop zone. The result followed a midweek 1-1 draw with leaders Chelsea and Altidore told the Hull Daily Mail: "It was one of our better team performances. "We started well and that allowed a lot of individuals to show off their skills. It gives us confidence. "It was another hard game. I don't think either Manchester City or Chelsea were easy games but we put in 100 per cent effort. "We wanted to attack them through the centre. Having two big guys up front, we thought we could cause them problems and we did." Next up for the Tigers is a trip to Blackburn on Wednesday and the American striker added: "We have shown we can stay here but that is not enough. We have to keep putting in the performances week-in and week-out. That will give us a chance."
