Chelsea boss Graham Potter has been urged to be more arrogant like former Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho.

According to former Chelsea right-back Glen Johnson, Potter being a little bit more arrogant will make his Chelsea players more confident.

Chelsea are enduring a terrible run of form, winning just two of our last 14 games, with the Blues languishing down in 10th place in the Premier League table, 10 points off the top four.

Asked if Potter needed to be a bit more arrogant like former Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho, Johnson told Lord Ping: “Obviously he is a very calm and calculated guy, so maybe that is not in his DNA.

“I suppose a little bit of arrogance is right in the sense that, if he is walking around with confidence it is only going to rub off onto the players.

“I don’t know if he has that sort of characteristic about him to be honest with you. There are loads of managers that are still great, but deliver their messages in a different way.

“Graham Potter is the sort of guy who seems to come across in a softer manner, obviously a gentleman, but sometimes every now and then he may have to light off a firework.”

Johnson, who won the Premier League at Mourinho’s Chelsea in 2005, says that the manager’s ‘arrogance’ helped Chelsea be as successful as they were.

“It was all super exciting because we were pretty much signing the best players in the world. All the players want to play with the best players, so we all knew that if we played to 8/10 that no one could beat us,” Johnson added.

“It was just that confidence that we knew when the away team would put up our team sheet in their dressing room, they would think, ‘how are we going to beat that?’

“So it gives you confidence, but then Mourinho would just give you even more confidence. We were just a good, defensive side in terms of being hard to break down but it didn’t feel like we could lose.”
