I think we will be less reliant on playing through teams this season

And will look to:

a) get the ball forward quicker, using wide areas more and
b) break opposition defences via pace and beating players

Rather than playing in front of the opposition, relying entirely on technical players.

I agree we’d need to replace him, but probably not like for like.
