Some of us voiced concerns if Pool would 'do a Spurs' this season.
BR heard us, he has spoken, and hopefully he'll get his act right!

Brendan Rodgers Hits Out at Liverpool's Comparisons With Tottenham Hotspur
Brendan Rodgers has hit back at critics who have been comparing Liverpool's summer transfer activity with Tottenham's similar attitude last season, which failed massively.
The similarities are easy to see: Both clubs' best attacking players left to go to Spain for over £70m, and then they both spent around £100m on new players to try and get or retain Champions League football.
Liverpool have signed six players so far - Rickie Lambert, Adam Lallana, Dejan Lovren, Emre Can, Lazar Markovic and Divock Origi - just one short of Tottenham's 'Magnificent Seven' of last summer.
But Rodgers has rejected the comparisons, saying: “We are a different club and it’s a different vision that we have here.
“There is a strategy behind what we are doing. We were talking with the recruitment team last season and we knew that we needed to improve the depth of our squad.
“Last season, we weren’t strong enough in depth in numbers and quality so we were always earmarked in the summer to bring in a number of players, hoping that we were in the Champions League so that we could try to challenge on all fronts.
“The players that we have brought in have a clear profile of the role that we want them to play and we see them as players who can develop in the future as well.”
