Rafa Benitez managed Liverpool to their 5th European Cup, for me that qualifies him as a legend!

Some truth, some nonsense if I may say so. Yes, we did fall at the last hurdle a few times - so nearly man is somewhat true. But we also exceeded expectations under Rafa so it's untrue to say that he always fell short.

Not sure what you mean by 'when needed'. When is the manager not needed? meaningless phrase i think.

And he most certainly is a legend in many, I reckon most LFC supporters hearts and minds. Perhaps not the greatest, but certainly a legend.


Sure, in his first season we exceeded expectations and then what? After spending over 220m he failed to win a trophy for 5 years. And in the context of this conversation "when needed" is another way of saying how he managed to capitulate towards the remaining years of his LFC career. I'm not saying he's a bad manager, he is in fact very good, but not the one some fans make him out to be.
