I get that there may be reasons to be talked at early in a missed approach however why do it at a critical time IE just as we're setting thrust, retracting gear and selecting autopilot modes? The other main issue is that at almost every airport I have flown a missed approach the controllers first call is to give go around instructions that differ from the published. Why have the procedure there in the first place? Do you expect us to go around every time as we do?

My home base is particularly bad as they talk to you as soon As they see you climbing away and give you go around instructions. What is frustrating is that we would have done exactly what they wanted had they not spoken to us as the instructions happened to match the initial part of the missed approach. Very frustrating and has been a contributing factor in many go around accidents.
