Kolo Toure – 5

Kolo Toure looked uneasy again against Stoke. He gets involved and does the job, and made several good decisions on the night, but he didn’t really seem solid. He was out shadowed by Mamadou Sakho when it came to blocking shots, and he struggled to deal with Marco Van Ginkel’s clever play and let him slip between the two central defenders on a couple of occasions.

Kolo Toure is reliable, but doesn’t fill anyone with a whole lot of confidence. I rate him, but personally can’t wait until Dejan Lovren is back starting.
