Yes. He should have pulled the trigger on Foden earlier but I wouldn't say he is a huge problem holding them back.

You can look at that yet you fail to mention how he got Mbappe spot on when all else had failed. He had France on the back foot.

It's easy to say put Herman in charge and let the horses run but who's covering Mbappe, Dembele et al whilst they're out running? It's not that simple.

Tactically with the exception of his late subs he got things spot on. He shut down Mbappe et al without compromising his attack. You can see that the players want to play for him and, imo one of the most underrated aspects of management..... his man management skills seem second to none. Just listen to his players. They want him back. They want to play for him.

England didn't play bad against the best team in the world. If anything I'd consider them very unlucky to go out on a ballooned penalty and a buffoon of a ref.

Easy to say get rid of Southgate. But for who? Certainly not Herdman.
