Manchester City boss Roberto Mancini admitted his side had been second best as they slipped to a surprise 2-1 defeat at struggling Hull.Goals from Jozy Altidore and George Boateng put the Tigers in control at the KC Stadium.Emmanuel Adebayor pulled one back in the 59th minute, but the expected City onslaught never really materialised and Hull were left to celebrate a victory that lifted them out of the relegation zone and up to 14th.Mancini, who gave Patrick Vieira and Adam Johnson their debuts off the bench, said: "We didn't play very well. We know Hull at home is a different proposition, they played well."We started the game very, very slowly and there were things I didn't like because the pitch is the same whether we play at home or away."If we want to make the top four, we must win away and we must fight. We must be aggressive away, not like the first half."
