Don't make excuses....Just be better.

Hes flopping currently.

The Wolfsburg manager said he has problems to keep up the training session and he was surprised that his fitness is below par.

Flopping? He still hasn't regained full fitness since that illness. We knew that, Jose mentioned it a few times.

Kinda hard when he didn't play for 2+months.

Looking at his time here, he didn't play when he played.

Hardly blaming Chelsea...more like blaming the fixture list in England because of which you play a game every 3 days.

Just a shitty title made up for the article by the Fail.

Looking at his time here, he didn't play when he played.

I don't necessarily disagree that Schurrle didn't play well when given the matches but the thing is, he was never going to get any rhythm to his game and build his fitness by playing 1 match here, 1 match there etc, especially when he recovered from a serious illness. You can't expect a player to just turn it on after spending so many weeks on the sidelines. Even Costa himself has needed some consistent game time to his rhythm going again after all those suspensions.

I also don't get why what he said there is considered as excuses. He was only explaining about his current state (it's silly whenever some one tries to explain about a situation he/she just endured, people just immediately associate it as making excuses. Such a lazy thing to do).

Has finally scored his first goal for Wolfsburg (against Stuttgart). Good for the lad.

Schurrle, 24, completed a £22m move from the Blues to German side Wolfsburg in February.

The Germany international had made 14 appearances for Chelsea earlier this season, most of those as a substitute, and had not been expecting to receive any recognition when Mourinho's side sealed the league title on 3 May.

Speaking in an interview with BBC World Service's World Football programme, Schurrle said: "I didn't know that I'd get a medal when I didn't play most of the second half of the season,"

"Jose Mourinho sent me a text to say that I'd get a medal and he asked me to come to the last game. That was very nice for me.

"I'm really happy for the boys. They played a very good second half of the season so of course me it's good to get a medal but the boys did the work."

A Premier League title-winner's medal means Schurrle could feasibly end with a hat-trick of medals this season.

He was a World Cup winner with Germany in Brazil last year, while Wolfsburg will play Borussia Dortmund in the German Cup final on 30 May.

Schurrle feels his World Cup-exploits accelerated his departure from Chelsea, admitting the volume of football he played, coupled with little time off between the tournament and the start of the Premier League, left him exhausted.

"I had the World Cup which was very perfect for me and the start of the season was good as well," he added.

"Then there came a little bit of a period for me where my body didn't feel very good, I was not clear in my head and I didn't have as many good moments for Chelsea.

"I wanted to come back to the Bundesliga, I wanted to feel a little bit more in the team and to get a bit more playing time.

"I love Chelsea still, I'm not frustrated, it was a great experience."

:cry:

Despite ultimately being a bit-part player for Chelsea, Schurrle says he would not hesitate recommending other players to move there if they get the chance.

"It can be difficult to get first team football because you have so many good players," he said.

"I think I took my chances very well because normally every time I got playing time I did something good and I scored.

"The manager doesn't need to change anything because the team is winning, then it's very difficult. You just have to be clear in your head and take the chances when they come.

"If you have the chance, you have got to go there."
