Noticing that Liverpool are using backheels a lot in the final third and it feels like it gets dangerous quite often. Is the use of backheels underrated, as it's a quick way of passing the ball 'forward' and takes less time than turning around and then place the pass? Why don't teams use this more to open up defenses?
 
Bonnuci's attempt against Genoa this weekend definitely opened up the defence. 47 seconds in. Hopefully not one we'll see John Stones attempting anytime soon.
