apparent paradox: for a sliding flat punch on a viscoelastic halfspace, friction is zero or not?

dear Imechanica friends
 
here is an apparent paradox: for a sliding flat punch on a viscoelastic halfspace, friction is zero or not?  Certainly there seems to be viscoelastic dissipation, but the pressure is also normal to dispacements, so am I missing something obvious here?    Any help is welcome!
 
 
Thanks
