Ozil's 71st-minute victor put Arsenal within seven points of fourth-placed Manchester City, and Wenger's men have a game in hand.
Arsenal are in danger of missing out on a place in the top four, and a place in the Champions League for the first time under Wenger.
"The system is one thing, we are more focused to have a complete total commitment for every ball and I think that will play a bigger part tonight".
"We were a bit over-cautious against Middlesbrough but hopefully the win over them will now give us more confidence", he said.
As the game grew more open, the gap in talent between the two clubs became more evident and Özil gave the Gunners a 2-1 lead in the 71st minute with a goal made possible by Alexis and Aaron Ramsey.
In a game with implications for teams at the top and bottom of the Premier League table on Monday evening, Arsenal ground out a 2-1 victory over a Middlesbrough team seemingly destined for relegation. "It shows that, even at my age, you can change". "We needed to play forward a little bit earlier, and I thought we did that, and when we scored I thought we would start to put them under pressure".
"That was the reason".

Petr Cech was also back from injury, starting for the first time since limping off during the first half of the defeat at West Brom. Alexis Sanchez curled in a ideal free kick to give the Gunners the lead in the first half, then helped set up Ozil for the victor. We need a win and I'm confident we'll get it.
"Sometimes when a team lacks confidence, changing the system helps the team to believe in something different", Wenger said.
Boro lie 19th, six points from safety.
"Middlesbrough gave everything. It's among their last opportunities to keep in the league".
"If they lose Sunday, I think you can forget about that victory because it will just return back to hard moments and I think that's where Arsenal are at the moment, they're so finely tuned in terms of one win isn't going to help them". You had seen what competitive football was about.
