"Erwin" Rommel suffered badly from lack of supplies and reinforcements from Germany, as well as a complete lack of men for the job at hand. He was ill equipped for facing the 8th Army. Do you expect Robert E Lee,(said to be the best General of his time) to win every engagment just because he is the best?

No you don't, a commander can only do with what he has.
