A review of his game:
1 - Missed two free headers. He didn't even hit them on target on either occasion
2 - Had a wonderful chance to have a shot almost 1 on 1 with the keeper. Instead, he put in a pointless and useless cross that almost went out for a throw in
3 - Was beaten in the air nearly every time, and it twice led to a goal
4 - Looked as though he was going to trip over the ball every time he had it
5 - One of his attempted crosses went flying out of the stadium even though he had no pressure on him
What has happened to the once great man this season? Molinaro has become more useful

Actually my point is that those defensive mistakes aren't too position-related. You can assume he took CB role and the mistake will still be there.
To be fair, there's almost nothing he can do about the first goal, it all happened to fast and the cross was brilliant (which is sadly something Juve really lack), the blame is for the right wing who was taken by surprise.

I think that's normally the way fullbacks put themselves, you can also see that Licht also track back to the centre when the opposition play the opposite wing (remember Milan's Berlusconi Cup goal). If you're referring to Genoa's first goal then I can say that Chiellini had done most good fullback would do, that cross and the goalscorer movement were so good that only world class defender would successfully put that away.
Actually Rossi changed his run before Chiellini moved to the middle. My guess here is that the last time Chiellini saw Rossi, he thought that Rossi was going to cut in. The moment Rossi realize he's in Chiellini's blind spot, he changed direction and going wide. The blame here is Bonucci who was late to track back so Chiellini have to cover in too deep.
Chiellini's positioning was a little bit questionable but I'll give it more to Rossi and whoever it is that crossed it, it was a good move.

Both Chiellini and Rossi were on the same track, but when that cross was kicked in, Chiellini was still running to the middle while Rossi made a move to the far wide. You can see that in the replay, the moment that both Rossi changed direction and the cross was kicked were almost the same (miliseconds difference at least). (My guess is) Chiellini thought that the cross was going to be a little low because he saw Rossi made cut in runs the last time Rossi was in his view.
Chiellini had to focus more on the crosser because he knew that cross will go in anytime at that moment. He didn't have time to check Rossi's movement, well if he did, he'll lose the track of the ball and everything will be too late, not that it matters anywyay. He made judgment calls and unfortunately it didn't go his way.
What matters the most is the cross; that cross was precise even though Rossi changed direction almost at the same time the cross was made.
In the end of course I think Chiellini should do better but it's barely a fuck-up. This is not a video game where you can track the attackers runs that easily; Rossi played in Chiello's blind spot nicely and the cross was really good.
