His shooting consistency is falling because he is taking shots instead of making the pass. Last season he contained his shooting to shen he actually had time on the ball.
For me though there were times when he clearly had space for a shot, and would have forced a save from the keeper but instead passed, leading us into a situation we were less likely to score from.

100% agree about free kicks. Awful, even if we've been spoiled over the years with free kick specialists.

No midfielder is ever looking good playing with the likes of sturaro.
I hate comments like this.

If Pogba is the world-beater he is meant to be, he shouldn't need everyone around him to be brilliant in order to perform to a good standard.

It's one thing to make those remarks about forwards who need to be given the ball, but Pogba is playing in a role where he can single-handedly take charge of a game.

idont agree that he needs to simply his play. he just needs to get his decision making right and start calming down a bit.

9 out of ten players would not have attempted that pass to madzukic vs man city. that one player that attempted would have likely failed in 8 our of ten attmepts to corss the ball like that.

no risk, no reward.

Pogba plays in a role that is already very demanding. When others aren't pulling their weight and he is required to make up for that he has to forgo some of his own responsibilities. Currently the team lacks in goal-scorers and I am guessing Pogba has been given responsibility to score some to make up for it.
Also it's easier for forwards, they can wait all game for one moment of brilliance but a midfielder like Pogba has to pull other weights as well.

One thing is certain.His playing last season and that before was more easy to him because there were Vidal and Marchisio and he has more free role.Now everything is on his back.But that is no excuse for his displays this season and never stopping idea of over complicating the things and humiliating the opponent.Here part has the overall form of the team now which is very low

I'd argue Pogba had that luxury an awful lot in the last couple of years due to how strong Juve's midfield has been in general play.

In those teams it was okay for Pogba to go missing for long periods and then come up with something brilliant, but now he needs to do more of the basic work in midfield to get the team playing.

Maybe seeing Pogba without Pirlo, Marchisio and Vidal around him making systems work will see some people start to understand what @Zacheryah meant by Pogba not aiding Juve's "tactical flow"...
