Put the verb at the end of your sentence, as in: your verb at the end of your sentence to put.

We could also make up some Old English-like kennings, (which are some of my favourite parts of the language) for our players or other football nouns.
Many classic ones come from Beowulf
- hronrade (whale-road) for "the sea"
- bānhūs (bone house) for "the body"
- ben-grefil (wound-hoe) for "sword"
- heofon-candel (heaven-candle) for "the sun"
They often were poetic and therefore both representative and abstract, so something like the North American term "sister-kisser" for a 0-0 would work.
Fabianski - net-fortress
Noble - match-rock
Hernandez - goal-eagle
Or along of the lines of using felli fjörnets (slayer-of-giants) for Thor, (we could try it on for size for our team itself, though less applicable this season, more "slayer-of-teams-we-should-be-slaying) Anderson could be "confuser-of-defenders"
Or like grennir gunn-más (feeder-of-ravens) for "warrior", a few of our squad could be (employer-of-physios)
Yours?

Old English didn't put the verb at the end of main clauses, unless they were questions.
You that understand?
In subordinate clauses, the verb came at the end.
This was the rule, of which this an example is.
Caveat: the corpus of written Old English is sparse enough that most rules are provisional.
