Arnautovic is playin right wing. De Bruyne as a false 9, deepest on the pitch, not a targetman as I said before.

According to the match preview I saw Arnautovic should be the lone striker... really strange system. Tho, KDB has played well so far, but they gotta use him behind a striker.

I don't understand why Kevin playing as striker. He is very good playmaker or winger. His long passes are great.

Maybe using him in a link-up position and less track-back to do.

He's a very talented player but he needs to add more muscle and work on his fitness.

I think that's why they play him upfront for the midfielders to link-up with him and do the runs.

He was surprised to play the striker roll he commented after the game.

"It was a surprise indeed. I guess that the manager didn't have anyone else. I didn't play there anymore since i was 10y old i guess. I know i didn't need to go in duel with Hummels and others cause they are strong so i tried to play quick with lot's of movement cause they have slow defenders."

"It's a shame we lost cause i think we deserved a draw. But the Bundesliga is a good league for me. I'm adapting quick over there and allready found a house. The German mentality is close to the Belgian mentality."

I watched the whole game. He had his moments, but generally wasn't involved or felt unsure. It's not easy though playing against Borrusia at their own stadium and having the shit pushed out of you with their high pressure defending. Add the fact that he played as a striker in a new team and things become much clearer.

It's not exactly the easiest match to play in especially out of position. Nonetheless Kevin needs to step it up a bit if he wants to keep his place in the starting XI.

He didnt get subbed, so that is a good sign!

Werder were playin good combination football & KDB was good without doin anything special, a few one touch combinations were you can see how precise his passing is (even under high pressure), a couple diagonal cross passes inch perfect, sent Arnautovic deep a few times, same for Elia (but he's to dumb to make an end product), so good start imo.

Definatly if youre considering he started up front. You could see he was more usefull after Petersen came on & he dropped to the 8/10 position.
