Fulham striker Andre Schurrle admits he's battling to handle losing so often.

Schurrle, who was setting up Germany's World Cup winner for Mario Gotze in Rio a little more than four years ago, does not deny that he is in alien territory.

"That's true. That's true," he told the Daily Mail.

"It's not easy to adapt to losing a lot. This didn't happen in my career yet. It's a completely new situation for me. Completely new pressure.

"You go as a little team playing against the big teams not expecting to win big. You always have this little thing in your head that if everything goes right you can make a big surprise."
