Oliver Skipp and Harry Kane each scored twice in the second half as Tottenham defeated the Blues for the third time in a row.
Chelsea's American owners have stuck by their manager despite the club's terrible run of just two victories in 15 games, which has caused some fans to turn against their manager.
When asked if he acknowledged that the boardroom's support despite his team's poor form, Potter replied: 'There is always that question, absolutely, and you can't stop the questions. While results are what they are, I accept it. It's part of the job.
'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 a bit. 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 haven't done enough at this club to have too much good faith; I also accept that.
'My job isn't to worry about that too much. 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.
'The results are not good enough for this club we're not happy with them. We want to try and improve it. I thought the players gave everything today, I've got no issues with them.
'If results aren't good enough you can't rely on support for ever. The players are giving everything, they're hurting. It's a tough time for us.'
