Following Sunday’s 2-0 defeat at Tottenham Hotspur, Chelsea boss Graham Potter mentioned Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta as he requested for time to turn things around.
Potter said: “We were talking before the game about watching the Arsenal All or Nothing and two years into Mikel [Arteta’s] reign he is close to getting the sack and people want him out. It was seen as a disaster but things have now changed.
“If you look at Jurgen [Klopp’s] situation, they haven’t got the results and all of a sudden people want him out. That is the nature of football.
“I understand the question and where it comes from, but I have to try to focus on keeping on helping the team and supporting the players.
“I really like these players, they’re good lads. They want to do better and want to win. But at the moment we’re suffering and that is my responsibility.”
However, according to Simon Johnson of The Athletic, Arteta didn’t have a run at Arsenal as bad as Graham Potter at Chelsea.
Johnson wrote on The Athletic: “One caveat to Chelsea and Potter repeating the Arteta example is he did not go on a run as bad as this one. He also bought time by leading Arsenal to the FA Cup within eight months of taking over.”
