[ofmartiians]

( MELISSA FUMERO, FEMALE, SHE/HER ) — ✧ that looks like M’GANN M’ORZZ, known as MISS MARTIAN! she adopted (1) children and she is SINGLE. i hear she’s ETHICAL & LOYAL, but tends to be OVEREMOTIONAL & UNRESTRAINED. she works as a SOCIAL WORK TEACHER at paragon.

like this post and i’ll shoot you a message for plots!

History:

(skip this if u want lol it’s really not all that important)

M'gann was born one hundred and two years ago to a pair of white martians, a minority race on mars known for being vicious warriors. Her parents, disagreeing with the majority of what the white martians stood for, shipped M'gann off before the feud between the races got too intense. While away from the fighting, M'gann became acquainted with green martian refugee J'onn J'onzz, who took her under his wing and basically raised her as his own. She considered him her uncle after the fact.

M'gann and J'onn travelled together to earth, where it was said many white martians had been captured whilst seeking refuge from the fighting. She was told her parents were among those who escaped her home planet, and arrived with the intent of saving them just to see them executed by the U.S. government. Upset and distressed, M'gann and J'onn went into hiding, adopting earth names – Megan and John respectively.

J'onn went on to become Martian Manhunter, and M'gann was sent to become a founding member of Young Justice, where she finally felt accepted. However, she continued to hide her true identity, shapeshifting to appear as a green martian around her Young Justice colleagues and using a more conventional earth appearance in public. After her team disbanded, she went on to join Teen Titans, and later began doing more independent work while staying in touch with her teammates.

After several years of being on her own (but not really on her own), M'gann led a bust of the Sportsmaster Lawrence Crock and some of his cronies, leading to her discovery of the mysterious Sam. It didn't take much digging around in his head to find out that was a bullshit made up name and that he was really the heir to the mastermind and she probably shouldn't trust him. However, a little more digging and she could see that, as young as he was, he had never had a true role model to follow, and at only fourteen she couldn't bring herself to wipe his brain, so she took him in. She showed him what it meant to rise up from the ashes, from a literally or figuratively destroyed home. She gave him everything she wished she had.

Only after he was sent to jail did she feel like she failed him. She had sworn off reading his mind to help cultivate trust between them, and it had backfired. She let him pay for his mistakes, saddened by the charges he faced but knowing it was right. After a year and a half of being on her own again, she agreed to move to Paragon to help keep tabs on him during his parole.

Tidbits:

When undercover (presenting herself as an earthling, usually how she appears out in public), M’gann introduces herself as Megan Morse. It’s the alias she’s been using since she arrived on earth and it hasn’t failed her so far.

Although she has a lovely youthful glow to her (aka melissa fumero is fine af), she’s 102 in earth years. Martians age three times slower than humans, so she appears 34, the age she uses when undercover.

As stated in her app, M’gann is overemotional. This isn’t entirely her fault, as martians are more susceptible to other’s emotions than humans, which makes her extremely empathetical even without directly reading someone else’s thoughts. She’s easily overwhelmed but has also mostly learned how to keep herself in check.

She tries to avoid using her mind powers as much as possible. She didn’t understand the invasion of privacy when she first arrived on earth, but ever since learning what it feels like to be violated she only activates her powers when she absolutely needs to.

She’s terrified of fire! A trademark among all/most martians, M’gann can’t stand fire. She keeps a safe ten-foot buffer between herself and the gas stove in her home at all times.

Powers & abilities: 

there’s a lot to put here lol so if you care enough i’ll be portraying her with these powers. I’ll try to steer away from mind control though just to try and avoid godmodding.

Wanted connections:

friends!! – I imagine as long as she’s been alive she’s managed to fall into the good graces of at least a few people lol. Having been part of young justice, teen titans, and affiliated with the Justice League gives her lots of opportunities to meet people & befriend them

longtime rival – not really an enemy per se, but someone who’s probably known M’gann since her younger days right after arriving on earth, probably someone she competed with or maybe they just straight up don’t get along.

partners – M’gann was on her own for a while, and i feel like she would have teamed up with most people as long as they had pure intentions. These people probably also fall under friends but maybe not?? Basically just colleagues, coworkers, etc. People she would know from having helped them out or vice versa.

sparks flying?? - M’gann has lived most of her life happily as an independent woman. It doesn’t take much to get to know her but she’s always been selective with dating. If someone really got through to her i think i would be fun to imagine how it would affect her life. she’s pan so any character welcome lol

i’m sure i’ll think of more but this is what i got for now!!

Thoughts

Formation

So, a return to the 4-2-4 that I think Klopp has started to favour at home against these "weaker" teams. The first choice defence returned, and Can partnered Wijnaldum in midfield. In retrospect the defence wasn't particularly important in this game, but I do think that Can-Wijnaldum provides more stability than Henderson. Both players are good at keeping the ball (when they have it), beating a man and playing it off. Henderson is too eager to immediately play the ball first. That can work, but often results in the ball coming straight back.

I'm really glad that Klopp started a strong team. This is what European teams usually do - go out, win the game, then brought players off if they need to. English teams usually bench their best players then have to bring them on when they're chasing the game.

Coutinho First Goal

I don't really need to analyse this one. It's clearly a penalty - a lofted ball over the top towards Salah, and the defender is all over him. Coutinho steps up and buries it in the bottom right corner. A question though - I thought Fifa introduced a rule banning the "stutter step" penalty a few years ago? I've seen it a few times over the last few seasons which suggests I'm wrong. Does anyone know what I'm talking about?

Coutinho Second Goal

http://ift.tt/2AlfDNB

So this starts with some really poor defending from Spartak. Firmino runs over to the right wing. This drags three Spartak players out of position - the left full back is tracking back, one CB follows Firmino, and the other (just out of frame) decides to go with them. This gives Salah the room to run through the middle.

http://ift.tt/2BeyaLD

Spartak's remaining CB turns back towards Salah, leaving Firmino in acres of space. Coutinho starts his run from deep.

http://ift.tt/2AnB4xp

Firmino plays the ball back across goal and Coutinho has three miles of room to find the goal. Easy peasy.

Firmino Goal

http://ift.tt/2BerNrK

I love the movement here. We're already pressing Spartak high up the pitch. Firmino decides he's just going to run into the space on the right wing.

http://ift.tt/2AltenW

When Sadio gets the ball we're already off to the races. Spartak are facing a 1 v 2. Those two are Salah and Firmino. I'd be pissing myself.

http://ift.tt/2BerOfi

Mané is looking to chip this ball to the back post for Salah to run on to.

http://ift.tt/2AlfKZx

I can't believe Spartak have left two of our players with so much room in the box. They do a good job blocking the cross (albeit with a hand), but Firmino's got the freedom of Anfield to fire home

Half Time

Hands up everyone was nervous? Put those hands down. Fortress Anfield is back. It's been over ten years since we last conceded more than 3 at Anfield. I don't think we've ever lost from 3-0 up at home. We're scoring goals for fun, the defence was solid, and Spartak were on the ropes. Any comparisons to Sevilla (or worse, Palace) were ignoring the fact that we're a fucking good team at home.

Mané First Goal

http://ift.tt/2BeyeuR

Coutinho drops really deep to collect this ball. It was similar against Brighton - when he's on it, he wants the ball as early as possible, because he knows he's going to beat everyone. I also want to highlight Milner. You might expect in a 4-2-4 for the left back to be supporting the midfield and the winger to be further up the pitch. It's the opposite here. Milner (and Moreno) was really given licence to push forward and support attacks. That made it effectively a 2-2-6 - how are you supposed to defend against that!

http://ift.tt/2AlEQHP

Liverpool have five players in between Spartak's banks of four. Fucking mental. Anyway, Milner runs outside of the right full back, Coutinho plays it through to him, Mané is able to run to the back post.

http://ift.tt/2Beyf1T

So now Spartak are fucked. They have their back four in the box. The left back is marking Salah, one CB is marking Firmino, the other has moved to block the cross, and Mané's got the entire left side of the box to himself.

http://ift.tt/2Akf2LV

This is it. This is the goal I tried to score about 5 times a game in my youth. The flying scissor volley to meet a cross. I love it so much. It's a lovely cross from Milner and Mané had about 5 different ways to score.

Coutinho Hat Trick Goal

http://ift.tt/2BerPQo

I'm not sure if Spartak were playing a back three at this point but yet again we have four players in between their lines, and they only have three back. Coutinho can play a ball into Firmino who has all the time in the world.

http://ift.tt/2AlfNob

Firmino plays it off to Milner and Coutinho is allowed to run through to the penalty box.

http://ift.tt/2Beyha1

Firmino continues his run into the box taking a defender with him. A central midfield gets close to Salah, but nobody is tracking Coutinho particularly well.

http://ift.tt/2Akf4U3

I love how quickly Coutinho hits this ball, particularly on his "weaker" left. He's looked to go across the goal but the deflection takes it near post and past the keeper. I'm surprised if he keeps this goal tbh honest, I'm not entirely sure if it was going in and the deflection is big enough to affect the keeper.

Mané Second Goal

http://ift.tt/2Beykmd

We're still pressing at 6-0 up. Mané (just covered up by the score board) notices Wijnaldum moving to press and looks to nick the ball. Can plays it through to Salah.

http://ift.tt/2Akf5HB

Salah immediately plays it around the corner to the unmarked Sturridge. Mané continues his run.

http://ift.tt/2BerSvy

The Spartak player makes a mistake here. I guess he thinks of tracking Salah who has slowed up. This gives Mané the extra yard he needs.

http://ift.tt/2AlfRnV

Sadio Mané is the least graceful player at the club. Discuss.

Salah Goal

Even Salah got to end his goal drought!

http://ift.tt/2BerTj6

This ball from Can though. Milner makes the run off the back of the right back and Can finds him with this lovely floated cross.

http://ift.tt/2AlfSrZ

Milner actually heads it into an area with zero Liverpool players but four Spartak players. We get the ball. Work that one out.

http://ift.tt/2Beyo5r

After the miskick from Sturridge you're expecting Salah to just smash this in the left corner. He doesn't though. That'd be too easy.

http://ift.tt/2AlfTfx

Nah, better just turn the entire defence inside out, then score. That's our Salah.

Scoring v Assisting

Just for fun, some stats:

Goals:

Coutinho x3

Mané x2

Firmino x1

Salah x1

Assists:

Milner x3

Firmino x1

Coutinho x1 (I'm including the cross for the penalty)

Mané x1 (the cross for Firmino's)

Sturridge x1

So that's our entire front four with at least a goal and an assist in one game. That's just lovely.

Everton

Oh, just the small case of the Merseyside derby at the weekend. Interesting to see how Klopp plays this. I'd like the following:

Mignolet Gomez Lovren Klavan Robertson Henderson Wijnaldum Mané Coutinho Firmino Salah

The only question is Milner v Robertson at left back and who partners Henderson in midfield imo.

By the way, I'm not going to be able to watch this game. If anyone else wants to do one of these feel free, if not I'll put one up after I watch a replay

Our next fixture is against Everton in the Premier League. The match kicks off on the 10th of December at 14:15PM(GMT)/09:15AM(ET).
