LONDON (Reuters) - Fulham manager Claudio Ranieri accused his players of lacking passion as the Premier League side were dumped out of the FA Cup by fourth-tier Oldham Athletic at Craven Cottage on Sunday.

Ranieri made six changes to the team who lost 4-1 to Arsenal in their last Premier League game, but what he had hoped would be an invitation for squad players to further their causes, backfired with a 2-1 defeat.
