I'm going to say no, although he is getting the plaudits for being more efficient in front of goal, thats only because he is now further forward. Which means we are atleast getting the ball up to him. Which before, we relied on him to do aswell as being on the end of it.
I will say that we are more reliant on him due to a lack of costa or reliable striker though.
I think so right now, but in time Sarri's system will ensure the opposite.
We are almost always going to be dependent on our best attacking player. I don't see the issue. If he leaves then we will depend on someone else.

Some really good comments here, I think Sideshow and Nick have put my own thoughts better than I probably could have expressed myself.
I think Hazard is a natural for Sarriball, there are others in the squad who are still learning. Willian for me could benefit from the system; but is a long way off understanding the nuances. Barkley, RLC, Kante are still learning, so it will be interesting how this team progresses.
Pedro is our second most attacking threat under sarri
Are we now more dependent on Hazard?
You're dependent on Hazard having a further good chemistry between him and Giroud.
I agree with both Nick and Sideshow.
Will be interesting to see if we do anything in January, not sure on somebody like fekirs position but heard good things, or maybe kovacic/Barkley can give us more In terms of goals.
Morata has 2 in 2 which doesn’t paint the picture at all as he should have probably had atleast 4

'Tis a good question. I think when you have a talent like Hazard, it is an inescapable outcome that the team will become dependent on them. So, when Hazard improves, it's a sign that the team is improving too.
Like Guardiola, Sarri has shown that his way of football stands on its own merits. For that reason we can say, that Sarriball benefits from Hazard, as much as Hazard benefits from Sarriball.

This. Just like Barça or United look less of a team when they're without Messi or Fellaini.
Nick is Fekir a winger or a centre-forward?
No I think we’re just dependent on him because he’s world class and our best player independent of the system. Like yeah he’s our biggest goal threat guy this is still true regardless of style we play. Every team has a best player and Hazard is just >>> rest of our players

Think he plays mainly as a no. 10
When Haza doesn't play. Others step up like Pedders when we beat Stoke 5-0
But Haza is a big game player and breaker, and we struggle in tight games without him. Sarri will work on that
tbf I reckon the goals will come, the two europa games we should have wrapped up 3 or 4 nil.
I feel like we're more reliant on Hazard to do something when Willian is playing rather than Pedro. Always feel like Pedro has a goal in him

Jorghino Kante and Kovacic are hardly prolific though!

We don't need them to be, we need them to control games and the rest takes care of itself.

After 8 games Hazard has 7, Pedro 3, Morata 2, Willian 1 so 13 between them if all carry on at rate the respective numbers for each at the end will be about Hazard 35, Pedro 15, Morata 10, Willian 5 which will mean we will only need around 10-15 from the rest and we already have 5 (from the others).
The control we now have on games will automatically boost the attackers numbers, there's every likelyhood we end this season with more goals than we did in any season of Diego Costa or (bar Carlo's first) Drogba.
I guess we are gonna find out this weekend agst Burnley
