Question: MSFS "Holding pattern" & "go around"

Hello, I am new to VATSIM. I have MSFS 2020 and I am using the A320 Neo.  However, I realised that, MCDU-wise, it's not possible for the plane to perform a "holding pattern" or a "go around".

My question as a new VATSIMer is:  Is one expected to be able to perform a "holding pattern" or a "go around" in VATSIM? ----- or is it not an essential requirement?

If yes, any suggestions how to do it in MSFS since apparently it's not feasible to do it automatically (since it's not working)?

Yes, you are expected to be able to do both.

Also you can always fly both of those by hand or on a lower automation mode if your FMC can't handle it in LNAV/VNAV.
