Wayne Rooney's Birmingham City team suffered a lacklustre defeat against Hull, which was met with boos from the fans. The defeat adds to Birmingham's dismal start under Rooney's management. In another match, Gerrard's Al-Ettifaq suffered a 1-0 defeat to Al-Riyadh in front of less than 700 fans, while an eighth-tier game had more attendance than Al-Ettifaq's match.

Rooney's home debut is not going well. #BCFC looked disjoined in the first half and caused their own problems with some indecisive passing out from the back, and a blind back pass from Longelo gifted Delap his goal.
