Arsene Wenger hopes he will not have to read his Arsenal players the riot act at half-time against Burnley on Wednesday night - and accepts the job of a modern-day manager is about more than just barking orders.
Much has been made of the French manager's dressing-room tirade during the interval at Liverpool, where Arsenal had trailed 1-0 following a lacklustre display.
Captain Cesc Fabregas revealed in a post-match interview Wenger had "screamed.... and said we didn't deserve to wear the Arsenal shirt if we played like that".
The psychology, however, seemed to work, as the Gunners bounced back to win 2-1 and close the gap on Barclays Premier League leaders Chelsea to six points with a match in hand.
"I have, for a long time, behaved in this job exactly as I think I have to, or that suits me, but we try to adapt to every single situation that we face," Wenger said.
"As a manager, you must first of all love to help people, to give them a chance in life, and to develop players, then you must have a big resistance to stress - all the rest, you learn. It has always been the same. Every player is under big pressure, despite the fact they are idolised, they need help."
