Thing is though, doing a go around in the 737 needs a mixture of hand flying and automation management skills, combined with mode awareness regarding the auto throttle and autopilot. It needs lots of training in the sim, yet two engine go arounds are very much neglected.

Just because a pilot can (or cannot) fly an ILS raw data or land off an NDB in a 40kt crosswind does not mean that they can fly a good 737 go around. It takes training and practice; pilots are not getting either. All about money at the end of the day.
