Bayern Munich versus Tottenham Hotspur is a big game, but a dead rubber nevertheless – and so here we have a pivotal moment in Jose’s reign.
It is in my opinion extremely unlikely that Mauricio Pochettino would have done what is undoubtedly the tight thing and rested key players.
Harry Kane in particular in the Argentine would have almost certainly been on the bench at least, restless, like a boxed-in calf.
The pressure of the Christmas schedule now takes priority. Well done Jose. Hopefully the players will not just respect this move, but see more moves like it.
