But the wily boss new what he was talking about, with the the Ireland striker making a big impact after coming on with 20 minutes to go when his side were at 0-0 away to Valencia last night.
It was nearly the perfect start when he was put through after just entering the fray on 71 minutes, but he produced a poor effort from what was a tight angle.

You can view Parrott's match highlights below.
