Hull City midfielder Geovanni says the way the team is playing at the moment could be enough to remain in the top flight next season.

The Tigers drew 1-1 with Newcastle on the weekend and sit 14th on the table, four points out of the relegation zone.

"I am happy to be able to help Hull, and also happy to have scored again," said the Brazilian.

"We went out to win this game. It did not happen. But from now on, the most important thing is not losing games at this stage of the competition. That will be important for us to stay in the Premier League.

"We could have been happier had we won this game. We got points in the last two games, and we must keep this mentality.

"I would like to get back to that phase of scoring more goals and helping the team.

"No doubt about it, we will stay in the Premier League. But we must keep up this form, and not lose games."
