After all that Liverpool Football Club has been through this season the last thing they needed was to lose the talismanic Spanish striker Fernando Torres to their rivals Chelsea. However, despite the blow of losing one of the world’s best forwards there seems to be a new spirit of optimism around Anfield that was unimaginable at the start of this season. Torres has moved on but the British record transfer fee of £50,000,000 has gone quite a way to softening the blow as it allowed the club to bring in two young and exciting attacking talents to fill the void left by El Nino. If you’re going to be visiting Anfield to see these new arrivals, Serviced City Pads can find you accommodation for your stay. Our Reservations Team can be contacted on 0844-335-8866.
Firstly, there is the Uruguayan Luis Suarez who had been a long-term Liverpool target before his signing from Ajax. He has made an immediate impact by scoring against Stoke on his home debut in a match the Reds won 2-0, continuing the feel-good factor that has been brought by club legend and new caretaker-manager Kenny Dalglish. Suarez wears the iconic number 7 shirt and already looks like he will add intelligence and bite to the attack and has already shown that he is willing to lend a hand in defence.
The dramatic deadline-day capture of Newcastle’s Andy Carroll for a fee of £35,000,000 is another interesting addition to the squad. Already capped for the senior national side at 21, Liverpool’s new signing looks like he will add another dimension to the attack. Hopefully he can form a partnership with fellow new boy Suarez that will rival the great Toshack – Keegan double act.
With these exciting new additions, and having got rid of a player who wanted to move on for a very generous fee, there is every possibility that Kenny Dalglish’s revitalised Redmen will be able to climb back up the league table. If the King can get his team to maintain the kind of form and results they are achieving at the moment, perhaps we could see the “caretaker” prefix removed from his job description. At the very least, Dalglish and his players have given the fans some reason for hope after the nightmare of the last couple of years.

With the upcoming visit of Manchester United to Anfield this coming weekend, it is proving to be a tough start to the season for Rafa Benitez’s team who last night suffered their fourth consecutive defeat of the season at the hands of Lyon in the Champions League, with Lyons winning goal being scored deep into injury time which must put question marks against Liverpool FC qualifying for the last 16 of this season’s Champions League competition. This defeat follows hard on the heels of the now famous beachball incident which led to defeat at Sunderland. With the coming visit of Manchester United to Liverpool this coming weekend Liverpool need to bounce back to maintain any sort of challenge in the English Premier League.

It is clear that the Liverpool economy (much the same as in Manchester) is driven by foreign LFC supporters staying in Liverpool to visit Anfield, and if the team do slip out of this years Champions League at such an early stage it would have a detrimental effect on that local economy. This is particularly true when you condifer the additional away team supporters that flood into the city, renting apartments in Liverpool, visiting restaurants, going shopping etc. The issue is exacerbated when you think that these Champions League fixtures are played during midweek when the occupancy levels of serviced accommodation in Liverpool is at it’s lowest.

Serviced City Pads take many serviced apartment bookings from Liverpool FC supporters who travel to see their team play from afar (particularly Scandinavia and Ireland), so less games at Anfield each season will definitely hit business. If there are less people staying in the city then it means less tables booked at restaurants, less sold in the shops of Liverpool One.

Sir Alex Ferguson and his Manchester United team will be looking to go in for the killl on Sunday. There isn’t a free bed in the city this weekend and that just goes to show how important football is to the North West economy.
