Football English - Instructions

JACK RADFORD
About this episode
In this week's Premier Skills English Podcast, Rich and Jack are at home watching a match. They are nervous as the match moves towards the final whistle. The language focus is on words and phrases fans shout at their own players. Do you know what man on means? In this week's task, we want you to shout some instructions to players on the pitch. Don't forget to listen to the end of the podcast because we have a new football phrase for you to guess.
