it's been a magical first half so far for the mercurial Mesut Ozil and as some pundits were saying before the game he is starting to come ominously into form for Plymouth, and it was he who made the score

we'll be back with the second half after these important messages from our sponsors...

Well, what a showing from Nantes.  Newly promoted Sedan having a tough time in the top league this year.

All quiet at Anfield, not sure if that's a good thing or not.  Obviously not in the fact we need to score a goal, hopefully causing them a few problems though?

With Watford and Plymouth on fire, the boys need to up the game and try and scrape a win in the second half.  Come on fellas...

ok the whistle has blown and the second half is underway...
