So ...how much worse would we be without Kane?
Kane has scored far above his xG this season. Many more goals than expected. But what if we replace all of Kane's goalscoring this season with a bang average striker who scores at exactly the xG created for him.
Quick look at the goals/xg and the pl table shows, we drop about 8 points and finish 9th in the league. Sure Kane helps in building some attacks but he is also not very mobile , so another striker that presses better would help in giving away fewer goals. So there's pluses and minuses.
We did reach the CL final without him with a midfield of Winksoko. We would be worse without Kane, that is obvious, but we wouldnt get relegated or anything close to that.
If we improve our defense/goalie and give out fewer goals, midfield starts gelling, and some new attackers (better than Richarlison), then there's no reason we cant improve .
