The returns of Ramsey and Ozil could not have come at a better time when you consider the poor run of form we had found ourselves in.
Aaron Ramsey had been out since Boxing Day and the midfielder's inspirational form prior to his injury had been having a major impact on our push for a first league title since 2004.
Ozil has had an up and down season; his first in the Premier League of course and we all hope for a much better, consistent player next term but in his return to the side recently, you can see the difference perhaps a little break has had which is promising.
Consider if Ozil and Ramsey had been fit and in form all season...I don't think we would be in a battle for fourth at the moment. Koscielny himself says the return of the these two now has "made the difference".
And on that battle for fourth spot, just one more win will secure us a spot in the UEFA Champions League for the seventeenth consecutive year, with Everton slipping up to Crystal Palace and Southampton in recent weeks. There are still two games to go and this has been very much a topsy turvy season, but I sense a new air of confidence around Arsenal just when it is needed.
