View Full Version : Moments that could have changed our history
If Dudek hadn't made that double save in 2005, there would have been no shootout.
If Gerrard's free kick vs Stoke in 2008 was correctly given :mad: we could have won the league
Newcastle's reserves being better in 2009 would have meant that Macheda wouldn't have scored a hat-trick against them and been in the squad for the United-Villa game as a reward...
Kuyt skies it after this (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rZ3v4T5sHPI) play, would we have been in the final vs Fulham?
Gerrard hits the post from 35 yards in the 90th minute against West Ham 2006?
Gerrard misses vs Olympiakos
Fowler not getting the knee injury vs Everton that ruined his career, how good would he have been :crying
If Kenny had impressed in his LFC trial at the age of 15, would he have become a legend with us?
Can anyone think of others? (Rep for the best ones)
John barnes not keeping the ball in the corner in the 90th of 1989 league finale...

If somebody had managed to get in the path of Cantona's shot in the 1996 Cup Final?
If Souness had signed Cantona, would the Manc's dynasty had even taken place?
If Reina hadn't spilled Anelka's cross-***-shot in the second leg in 2009.

Could have been worse . . . United might have actually followed up their interest in a young Zidane had they not signed Cantona. :eek:

Man Utd not getting a ridiculous pen vs Spurs in 2009 to get them back in it / Macheda not scoring an injury time winner vs Villa
John barnes not keeping the ball in the corner in the 90th of 1989 league finale...

John barnes not keeping the ball in the corner in the 90th of 1989 league finale...
The ref disallowing the first goal in that match as it was scored directly from an indirect free kick; Alan Smith's head was nowhere near it.
The ref playing the advantage in the 88 Cup final and not disallowing the perfectly good Beardsley goal to give a free kick to us.
A slice of luck at those two moments and we would have had 3 consecutive doubles.
Everton payed to rent to John H, and LFC ceased to exist.:eek:
If only we drew fewer games in the 08-09 season, and the scum scored fewer injury time winners, then it would've been different at the end of that season. Vidic against Sunderland and Macheda against Villa stands out.
If we had accepted Middlesbrough's £5million bid for Stevie G in 2000.
Imagine that! :eek:
The 20 odd years of not winning the league! Tleast one League Title may have changed our History by far!

Watched ElAlonso videos last night, very good viewing. I loved the passion one especially with the voice in the background.
Rep when it allows me.

Entering the FA cup of 88/89. :(
If Phil Neal would have been given the player managers job instead of Kenny.
If Souness stayed on as LFC manager to sign 'George Weah's cousin'.

Absolutely the best football compilation I've ever seen.
Repped.
If Eider Gudjohnson's shot across the face of the goal in the 95th minute of injury time had gone in.
If Rick Parry had never been born. That way he could never have told Houllier that Ronaldo was not worth signing (a week before Manure signed him)

Didnt Shankly say that the players didnt cheat but the ref was deffo bent. Haunted him forever.

Yes, he did I think, the ref was well bent Tommy Smith went over to him to have a go and even kicked himin the shin and he got no reaction from the ref do to "guilt" as quote by smith.

Although you’d never think it now, Liverpool were once Everton. In 1892, in the thriving and busy docklands of Liverpool, Everton were forced to vacate a site on Anfield Road due a dispute over the tenancy. The chairman of the club, John Houlding, wanted to stay where he was though, so on 15th March 1892 he and three of the first team players stayed at Anfield, along with a few supporters, and formed a new club called Liverpool FC.
John McKenna was appointed as the club director, which meant he called the shots from week to week. The newly named Liverpool FC received the best start possible and in their first home match they beat Rotherham 7-1. The Scottish McKenna brought in a number of young Scots to fill-out the new team and within their first season, Liverpool didn’t lose a single game and were rightly rewarded for such with promotion to the First Division.
A couple of years of yo yo-ing from the First to the Second Division followed, as Liverpool tried to find their feet and embed themselves in the ever-expanding English game. Finally, at the dawn of a new century, they won their first top-flight championship in the 1900/01 season. It would become the first of many for the Reds.

Winning is very good. But imagine if Liverpool won more titles after 1990. Things will always be good if we had good competetion. So next 2 decades will be ours, scums are on a decline.:scarf:scarf:scarf
Not our history but Suarez not handballing vs Ghana in last years World Cup. (Ghana would be first african team to reach semis)
It would have been unfair if they did because the goal should have been offside
If Inzaghi hadn't got in the way of Kaka's freekick.
If Macari's shot had gone wide instead of hitting Jimmy Greenhoff.
If Clive Thomas had allowed Bryan Hamilton's goal in the 1977 semi.
If torres had played against at madrid the EL semifinal last season, we had won this trophy and rafa and torres would be here today.
Houlliers Typo when he gave his list of transfer targets to Parry, Instead of Duff we got Diouf. :(
Had Alonso not scored from the rebound in 2005.....
If we'd not have had that dip in form in Jan/Feb 2009.......Also had Macheda not spunked a last gasp winner against Villa at home I think the league could/should have been ours
If Rafa had been given a decent transfer budget not reliant on player sales under the dark years of H&G

I would argue that the main reason we didn't concede in the 2nd half was down to a polish hand and a huge slice of luck!

If he had, he might have not been fired, and we wouldn't have Rafa, Alonso or Istanbul.
If Rafa Benitez had played the 2nd half of the season with the shackles off, and kept Macherano as holding only Mid, and let Xabi Alonso become the creative player behind Gerrard/Torres .... and played the 4-2-3-1 system in an attacking way, instead of defensive.... FACT.... we'd have been Champions!!

Was that the same second half of the season where we went on that awsome run, starting with sticking a total of 8 goals past Real Madrid and Manchester United in a week, thrashed Villa and only dropped points in a 4-4 draw with Arsenal.
If Macheda (:mad:) hadn't scored a hat-trick for Manc reserves against Newcastle he wouldn't have been called to the first-team bench against Sunderland and Villa....
If Webb had not given United a dodgy pen when they were 2-0 down against Spurs...
If Gerrard's goal against Stoke was allowed as it should have been.

If Rick Parry had never been our CEO then the above could certainly have happened. Wonder if Houllier reminds him of that time when he said he wasnt worth that kind of money a few days before Manure signed him.

Buying Ronaldo, after his come and get me plea to Houllier.
That would have been a key signing if there was a bit of brain left in Liverpool backroom staff. Although, he wouldn't have improved as much in Liverpool imo.

Your missing the point! The shackles came off too late, it should have been the full season we went out to win, and not go out to not lose....
I know we won our last 10 games or so, but the point was the whole season should have been the same.

Yeh... K.Kenny had almost done the deal but Bacon stole him from under his nose, pay back for the whole G.Hysen deal.
