He has quality in his feet and is a handful and could be the player that keeps Hull up.[LNB]"He can run, he has power, a cool finisher, lovely feet and yeah, he put in a real good shift."[LNB]Dowie added: "Jozy is a lad I will be driving mad and getting at him to get an intensity in his training. He is a laid-back lad, that is not a criticism, we love him to death we just need to get a bit of devil in his stomach."[LNB]Altidore is set to keep his place in the Hull side for their clash at Stoke on Saturday after his impressive show against Fulham.
