Frenchman Arnold Mvuemba cannot understand why he is not a regular in the Portsmouth side. He does not feel Pompey are as strong now as they were when he first joined the club in 2007 and is disappointed with his lack of involvement under caretaker manager Paul Hart.

"Since my arrival I have improved with players like Lassana Diarra or Sulley Muntari," Mvuemba told Le 10 Sport.

"Now they have left, the players who have replaced them are not better than me. That is the most painful (thing).

"It is not their fault. The coach makes his decision, but I can't understand."
