Norwich City manager Chris Hughton has insisted that he is capable of shouting at his players should they deserve it, despite always looking calm on the sidelines.

Hughton said that he would prefer to remain calm in all situations, but recognised that the need is sometimes there for a more "aggressive" approach to management.

"There is no doubt that at moments you need to be emotional and you need to shout and criticise," Sky Sports News quotes Hughton as saying. "I am very happy and capable of doing that.

"It's a man's game and you have to be prepared for that. On occasions when you need a calm head then that's what you would prefer to be.

"If there is something that I see that I don't like to see then can I shout? Can I be aggressive? Yes, of course, it's part and parcel of the game."

Norwich are currently 16th in the Premier League following defeat to Liverpool on Wednesday night.
