Narrative:
At about 200 ft on an apparently stable approach to runway 27L; I noticed that the bugged speed was 160 kts instead of vref 149 kts. I realized that I had never selected managed speed during the approach. I made the call airspeed go-around/toga and began the go-around. During the go-around we had a flap overspeed at flaps 1. I corrected our speed by pulling the thrust levers back from toga and regained a proper airspeed while the captain retracted the flaps.the go-around decision was made due to the unstable approach/high airspeed caused by the failure to select managed speed during the approach. The flap overspeed was caused by communications difficulty during the go around while the captain was dealing with complex ATC instructions. He did not hear my call for 'flaps up' and I did not maintain proper airspeed.
