When looking at the western front part 2 one can notice that Wallies failed to make any large scale encirclements. Exception being Ruhr and even that was late in the war. Falaise wasn't as much encirclement as massive slaughter of retreating forces and Gemrans were able to keep escape route open for a long time. Even after BoBulge failed Wallies had perfect opportunity to cut of exposed Germans but settled for driving them back frontally.

If there are more encirclements what are the effects? And what would have to be changed for this to happen? Surely the doctrine was there, it just seems it wasn't implemented properly.
