"It's a disaster..." Graham Potter draws Mikel Arteta comparison as Jurgen Klopp claim made

This will divide opinion.

Graham Potter has compared himself to Mikel Arteta, citing Arsenal's All or Nothing documentary last season.

The Blues were beaten 2-0 by Tottenham on Sunday afternoon, extending their losing run to three games.

The defeat means they have only scored one goal in their last five matches, as the pressure continues to mount on Potter's shoulders.

Goals from Oliver Skipp and Harry Kane ensured all three points for Antonio Conte's side, with Chelsea languishing in 10th place, 14 points adrift of fourth-placed Spurs.

However, Potter has revealed that he had taken inspiration from Amazon Prime's All or Nothing documentary, which detailed the Gunners' 2021/22 campaign.

Potter makes Arteta comparison

Arsenal missed out on qualifying for the Champions League last season after north London rivals Tottenham pipped them to it.

However, Arteta has transformed his young side into title contenders since then, leading them to the top of the Premier League table.

The Blues boss suggested he is in a similar position to the Spaniard last season, indicating that with time, he has every chance of turning the tide at Stamford Bridge.

Asked in his post-match press conference whether he still had support from the board, Potter stated: "Well, there's always that question, absolutely. And you can't stop the questions. And while the results are like they are, I accept them - it's part of the job.

"We were talking before the game about watching All or Nothing and Arsenal, two years into Mikel's reign he's close to getting the sack and people are wanting him out and it's a disaster. And now things have changed a little bit - and that's just the way it is."

The 47-year-old also mentioned Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp, who has been similarly rumoured with an exit having endured a tricky campaign.

Although Potter acknowledged that it was merely the "nature of football".

"If you look at Jurgen's situation," he continued. "They haven't got results and all of a sudden people want him out, that's just the nature of football. Obviously I haven't done enough at this club to have too much good faith, and I also accept that."

"My job is not to worry too much about that, to understand the question and where it comes from, totally, and to focus on keep helping the team and keep supporting the players, because I really like these players. They're good lads and they want to win, but at the moment we're suffering - and that's my responsibility."
