KEVIN DE BRUYNE has questioned Pep Guardiola's use of him in a striking role
The Manchester City boss deployed De Bruyne as a false 9 when his side were thumped 4-0 by Barcelona at the Nou Camp on Wednesday.
And after the game, the Belgium star says it's obvious that playing up front is not his best position.
“I’m not used to playing it,” he said.

City's promising start to the season has begun to unravel as they've now failed to pick up a win in four matches, losing twice along the way.
The Barcelona result was particularly tough as it put a serious dent in their chances of qualifying for the Champions League knockout rounds.
They're still sitting in second place in Group C, with Barcelona leading the pack after winning all three of their games.
But City are still in touching distance of Borussia Monchengladbach, who have three points and Celtic who have one, so there's everything to play for in the second half of the group stage.
