But what is now the best Pompey line-up Mousinho can send into action? We’ve been asking for your views on the subject and, as ever, you have come forward with plenty of views on the matter.
9. Alex Robertson
You want Robertson to start, but how to fit him in is a thornier subject. He would probably have to be used wide in a 4-3-3 or 4-2-3-1, but go to to a diamond midfield or 3-5-2 and he's more easily accommodated. Photo: Jason Brown
10. Christian Saydee
The reason Robertson may have to be used wide in a 4-2-3-1 or 4-3-3 is the groundswell of support for Saydee to start. A diamond gets Robertson at the point with Saydee in a two-man front line. Likewise, a 3-5-2 the powerhouse can go forward with Aussie deployed centrally. Photo: Jason Brown

You couldn't be separated between the Exeter signing and Norwich loanee, which actually works out well for the advanced role on the left flank. The pair could share duties depending on opposition or whether home or away. Likewise, at a push, as left wing-backs or left side of a midfield diamond. Photo: The News

There's only one person you want leading the line - the Magic Man, of course... Photo: Jason Brown
