It was a night to forget at the Marassi, and no matter what Max Allegri said about a precious point being earned his team left a whole lot to be desired against a newly-promoted Genoa side that wasn’t anything special on the night.

• Takeaways from the trip to Genoa — including how there’s really no easy games for Juventus no matter what we think or what things say on paper, and how there looks like there’s a complete lack of a Plan B from Max Allegri and Juventus outside of trying to win 1-0.
• So, about that performance against Genoa. Yeah, not great.
• Old problems came back to haunt Juventus after a string of performances where scoring one goal ended up being enough.
• Serie A referees suck and this was the latest example of that.
