No, no it's all about upsetting Villa. For some reason we're both a giant of a club, the first English superpower, the only behemoth for a hundred miles in every direction; but we're also a smoll bean team that the media bullies and the other, bigger boys come and take our friends away from us by offering them bigger toys. And then when we're not being bullied by the media we're being ignored by them, which is also upsetting and hurts our feelings.

It's all quite confusing, I'll be honest.

For early clues as to whether or not he'll be starting for England, he's been given the #17 shirt, Bellingham has #10.

Which doesn't mean that he won't be picked ahead of Bellingham, but it's possibly a clue as to who has the edge.

You might be right that it's Bellingham over Rogers. However, it would be bigger media discussion if the numbers were the other way around. I think the media favours Bellingham based on his past England performances and tournament experience. Tuchel has shown that doesn't mean the same with him.

Konsa has been given number 2 so is a shoo-in as Right-Back.

Given he's taken five centre-backs, I wonder whether a 3-5-2 thing is completely out of the question. Konsa / Stones / Guehi, Saka and O'Reilly being very attacking wing-backs, Anderson / Rice / Bellingham in the middle then Rashford and Kane.

I'd ordinarily say that it would be weird to suddenly pivot to that having never tried it before, but probably no less weird than suddenly calling up Toney out of nowhere having previously shown no interest in him.
