Tigers boss hails striker Altidore

Hull City manager Iain Dowie has hailed Tigers striker Jozy Altidore and believes he could be a key player in their bid to beat the drop. The forward, 20, is currently on loan from Spanish outfit Villarreal and he impressed Dowie with his performance as City beat Fulham 2-0 last Saturday.Dowie told the Hully Daily Mail: "I have seen something in him. He has quality in his feet and is a handful and could be the player that keeps Hull up."He can run, he has power, a cool finisher, lovely feet and yeah, he put in a real good shift."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."Altidore is set to keep his place in the Hull side for their clash at Stoke on Saturday after his impressive show against Fulham.
