Crystal Palace manager Roy Hodgson recently suggested that his new signing in the transfer window, Turkish international striker Cenk Tosun, was a little 'rusty'. What does 'rusty' mean when talking about a player (or even a team)?

Don't forget we have hundreds more explanations of football language in our football glossary and we also have a page full of football cliches.
