The 21-year-old defender is expected back in action later this month after a six week layoff with a fractured leg.Speaking on Fridays Sports Breakfast, Murphy said: If Gomez was playing, with his pace and recovery, is Sane getting in behind? Would Gomez be beaten like Lovren did on that near post?Lovren has done well to come back from where he was at a year ago and hes a good second choice.But if Gomez was playing would he have suffered the same embarrassment of athleticism?Sane is quick, but Lovren was at fault, really. With his professional impartiality aside, the result was admittedly a painful one for Murphy.And the boyhood Liverpool fan believes the title race would have been done and dusted had Klopps side won.Now though, the momentum may have shifted and Man City have a great chance to rival the Reds for the trophy.There are lots of aspects of the game but ultimately what we saw was two wonderfully gifted teams going head to head, he added.Im a Red and Im desperate for Liverpool to win it, and I think if Liverpool had won it and gone ten points clear it would have been done.Listen back to Danny Murphy on the Alan Brazil Sports Breakfast IN FULL above!
