Don't want to come across as reactionary - search for my posts on him in the past - he just isn't good enough.
From his 1st involvement at Chelsea picking up the ball from a back pass to every game since, he hasn't shown anything that would suggest he is anything other than a very average keeper who would struggle in the championship. He had 1 good game in all the appearance he has had for us.
 
I think the problem in a lot of ways is Ederson is one of a kind.

Steffen's a good keeper but the high-risk playing out from the back exposes his weaknesses. We either need a more Ederson-like back-up, or to tweak the way the team plays out of defence when Steffen's in goal.

Second half, the defence noticeably took better care of him, playing back passes to positions outside the posts.
 
The second one was awful obviously, but the third one was arguably more disappointing, because he has a reputation as a good shot stopper, but that positioning was awful. Good strike though.

He was also beaten at his near post against Swindon in the third round. I'd be worried if Ederson picked up a bad injury.
