UEFA president Platini is to give Caborn the report on the problems caused by ticketless fans at last month's final against AC Milan. It is expected to say there have been 25 incidents involving Liverpool fans away from home since 2003 and most away supporters do not cause any trouble at all.

Ahead of the Brussels meeting, Caborn said: "It's time to stop playing the blame game and see how we can stop these things happening again. Rather than spend any more time apportioning blame and pointing fingers we need to work out solutions."

He added: "It was not just with Liverpool that there were problems last season in Europe - Manchester United also had problems in Rome and Lens."

Meanwhile, Steven Gerrard has blasted UEFA for labelling Liverpool fans as "the worst in Europe" and laid the blame for the problems in Athens firmly at their door.

Gerrard, however, claims his friends and family who went to the final all found the organisation lacking - and even the club's hotel facilities laid on by UEFA were not good enough.

"It upsets me because we've travelled everywhere together for the six or seven years I've been in the first team," he said. "From what I've seen their behaviour has been fantastic. So it surprises me to hear that.

"I had friends and family at the final. Their opinion was that the organisation wasn't good enough.

"I'm sure when it all gets broken down they will conclude that the organisation wasn't good enough and maybe a minority of Liverpool fans have let themselves down. But as far as I'm concerned the European Cup final has got to be in a bigger stadium with better organisation.

"Our set-up wasn't good enough either. Our hotel facilities weren't good enough."
