The capital club were unable to find a way past the Breton outfit, who had been reduced to nine men shortly after the break, and are now without a win in their last three Ligue 1 games.
"I am very angry," he told reporters after the match.
"I don't think we had a good attitude on the pitch. It's very difficult at the moment because we lost two home games and that's not possible for the team we want to be.
"We're in crisis and I don't have any problems with saying that. We have to get out of this period quickly, and if we have the attitude, character and professionalism, we should do.
"To get out of it, we need to change something, and I will change that something. Everyone has to do more. I am here to make a team and, at the moment, we are not a team."
The Parisians were without the suspended Zlatan Ibrahimovic for the clash, but Ancelotti does not feel the Swede's absence contributed to the defeat.
"I don't think so because, without Zlatan, we played very well against Marseille. I do not think that our results have been bad because he didn't play."
PSG will look to get back to winning ways when they travel to Dynamo Kiev in Ukraine on Wednesday in Champions League action.

Champions League final - LIVE!
German giants Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund will battle it out at Wembley for European glory. Get involved by sending us your thoughts via Twitter or Facebook! Hosted by Mark Doyle.

Mario Balotelli might not be involved tonight but you can't keep an incredibly loud man down/quiet, and he's taken to Twitter to voice his support for Dortmund, who of course played their part in dumping the forward's former club Manchester City out of this season's group stages.

BAYERN HAVE WOKEN UP! After sleepwalking their way through the opening quarter of this game, Bayern arise from their slumber to draw a stunning save out of Weidenfeller, who somehow managed to get his fingertips on a fine header from Mandzukic and tip the ball over the bar. Seconds later, Javi Martinez nods just over from the resulting corner. Bayern literally arrived 20 minutes after Dortmund - and it's been the exact same story in terms of the game.

More from our man about the town, Jay Jaffa:
"I would say it was an even battle between both sets of supporters outside Wembley but Dortmund are definitely edging it in the pub I'm in. The streets of central London are quieter than usual and every bar I walked past is spilling out onto the road. London is at a standstill.

Reus is involved again, drawing another decent stop out of Neur. Early days, of course, but Bayern look like they might bottle another final! Die Roten fan Tobias is somewhat concerned - but feels Dortmund will pay for their profligacy.
"It is a match where every situation feels like the decisive one. Our start is certainly not good, with Dortmund putting lots of pressure on us. Maybe that was unexpected.
"But look at the bright side: A team that did not convert one of three chances against us probably won't win. We do not give away way more chances than that."

TERRIFIC STOP FROM NEUER! Just moments after a corner forced by a long-range strike from Lewandowski, Gundogan angles the ball wide to Reus, who picks out Blaszczykowski at the near post. The latter connects with the cross first time, but Neur is equal to it. That was a fine reaction save, but Dortmund should be ahead. And you know what, Dortmund deserve to be ahead. We're 15 minutes in but Bayern haven't started yet.
