After all, Kyle Walker's lamentable collapse following a gentle rubbing of foreheads with Rasmus Hojlund was only a piece of pathetic con-artistry that most Premier League players would be willing to perform.
Only Walker is not 'most Premier League players'.
Walker is the captain of a team that has won four Premier League titles on the spin.
Walker is the stalwart of a team that has won six of the last seven Premier Leagues.
Walker is the veteran of a team that won the Treble the season before last.
Walker should not be reduced to this. It was just before half-time and Manchester City were leading, for goodness sake. Since when did Walker, a totem of an all-conquering operation, feel he had to act like this?
