Ancelotti prepared for criticism
Carlo Ancelotti expects to come in for criticism following Chelsea's dramatic slump in fortunes.
The Blues still lead the Barclays Premier League on goal difference from Manchester United.
But Saturday's shock 1-0 reversal at Birmingham - in the bottom three at the start of the game - was their third defeat in four league games.
It was also the first time Chelsea had lost back-to-back league matches since May 2006.
Ancelotti said: "Obviously (criticism) can happen when the team don't win. There is more responsibility on the coach but this is normal.
"This is my job. If the team is not doing a good job, it is normal to have more responsibility. I don't have a problem,
"Am I prepared for criticism? Yes, I am prepared. This is the life of the coach."
