Subs:
Kolo Toure – 7/10
Again, didn’t put a foot wrong. The Ivorian deservedly won our November Player of the Month award, and he should perhaps be starting as a regular, whether it’s at centre-back or right-back.
Mario Balotelli – 6/10
The Italian mainly hovered on the left, but got himself into two superb positions where he could, and perhaps should have scored. De Gea saved both efforts, however, and Balotelli has yet to score in the Premier League in a red shirt. His performance was decent though, and he should be in the starting XI for our next game.
Lazar Markovic – n/a
Didn’t do much during his 20 minute cameo, but produced a beautiful pass to set up Balotelli late on.
