Burnley 1 Chelsea 3, August 18
2014
In many ways the opening game of the season summed up Chelsea’s season. Looked comfortable, went behind to a shock goal, scored three times in a devastating 17-minute burst at Turf Moor through
Diego Costa, Andre Schurrle and Branislav Ivanovic, and then were content to cruise for the rest of the
match to pick up their first three points of the year.

Everton 3 Chelsea 6, August 30,
2014
Frustration at Chelsea and Jose Mourinho’s defensive approach to wrapping up the title is based as much in the fact that they were capable of playing such fast-flowing attacking football when they wanted. Putting six past Everton in August highlighted this, with one of the best defences in
the league in the 2013/14 unable to cope with the vigour of Chelsea’s forward play.

Manchester City 1 Chelsea 1,
September 2014
On paper this was a disappointing result as Frank Lampard’s goal on his first appearance against his old employers denied Chelsea the three points. But Mourinho’s side were impressive against the league
champions, and demonstrated the compact, counter-attacking display that would frustrate their title rivals throughout the season with
City, Arsenal and Manchester United failing to beat them in the six games they played against the
other sides in the top four.

Swansea City 0 Chelsea 5,
January 17, 2015
Chelsea had not been impressive over the Christmas period and had been left reeling by a surprise 5-3 loss at Tottenham Hotspur on New
Year’s Day. They had allowed their early points advantage over to Manchester City, but a 5-0 victory
at Swansea City, with four goals in the first 39 minutes, demonstrated there was no crisis at Stamford Bridge.

Arsenal 0 Chelsea 0, April 26,
2015
It may not have been pretty by any means, but Chelsea put on a defensive masterclass at the
Emirates Stadium to quash the last
lingering threat to their title
dreams. Arsenal were the form
team in the league, winning their
previous eight games and scoring
18 goals, but they were shut out by
a strong Chelsea defence led by
General John Terry.

He's speaking from a 'TECHNICAL/TACTICAL' point of view and I so concur with the OP.

But then he should have added the draw at OLD TRAFFORD.

The list is not complete without the win against QPR, Everton (both legs) and Man Utd

The draw against arsenal does remove the pressure n not the win against Manchester United.

I watched it... Willian scored a first half goal... Compare it with the Cesc Fabregas' goal against QPR...

What remove pressure from chelsea was man city, they dropped in form and only arsenal was in form which gives me hope because they are not threat to me as a chelsea fan.
