Though this leads me to believe that a ball which is deflected by a defender (not deliberately played) should be offside as well. I can't remember the Liverpool goal so not sure which case it was.

I was there at the time and wasn't sure if Morientes was offside. But looking at the replays he was offside when the original ball was played through, hence he was still offside despite the defender's touch (which doesn't matter, despite what people think).
