You are not a hater really, Genoa are a real good team on the up, that play nice and balanced football. But they are mainly a home team, thats the essential difference, between the cream and those just below it, Genoa are as close as you can get to a top 4 level, despite way lower budget, but essentially, they can only be counted on when they start getting the results way from home. They easily could have gotten the CL spot last year, in last 5 or so games, IF they could win away from home, they simply choked as hell simply for playing away.
But indeed, they are a promising team.
