The Villa skipper insisted the makeshift right-back should not carry the can for the claret and blues' problems at the back.
They have shipped eight goals in two games, losing 4-1 to Stoke and Manchester United, with Bacuna struggling in both, but Vlaar believes the doubters should lay off his fellow Dutchman.
He said: "He is doing well. It's not easy and he's not even a right full-back originally. He is improving and he is doing good work but sometimes you just have a less of a good game."
